Distasteful and unpleasant

Rating: 1/10 (30 July 2010)

This movie is distasteful in the extreme. The storyline is really about nothing at all except a silly affair between two unattractive people. With all the good stories about WWII why do they pick such a silly topic to make a movie about. Why do some people think that you just throw in a bit of WWII and it becomes serious art? The characters are unsympathetic and uninteresting. Kate Winslet's constant need to display her nudity rears its ugly head again. Absurd to give her an Oscar for this unconvincing performance.
The young boy is daft looking. Ralph Fiennes is totally miscast. There is no way that boy could have turned into Ralph Fiennes.
Don't waste your time on this kind of unpleasant "entertainment".
