Do not see unless you like having your heart ripped out

Rating: 2/10 (8 October 2002)

I'm in the minority of people who hard a very hard time with this movie. Yes, there was much that I appreciated about it, especially the magical romance in the first half. When the action moved to the concentration camp, I wish I had followed my gut instinct and turned the movie off then and there.
Setting the rest of this movie in a concentration camp just doesn't work for me. I cannot ignore the knowledge that great cruelty and unimaginable suffering occurred in places like this.
If you are a sensitive person, I suggest you skip this movie. It'll rip your heart out by making you care so deeply about the characters and then.... well I don't want to give away the ending. Let's just say, I was left very sad, NOT uplifted at all.
