It's fascinating to read the different reviews of this movie. I remember seeing it had two and a half stars but not letting that put me off.. and I am so glad I didn't. It was truly the best love story I have ever seen. I suppose it is just like poetry - some love it, some hate it... but the strange thing is I have never understood poetry but this movie made it accessible to me. It's more than poetry though.. it is really strong character driven drama... just beautiful. I say.. don't let the negative reviews necessarily put you off. You just may love it as I did.

I like the beginning of this movie better than the second half as it got a bit dark especially at the end - but I loved the concept. It is quite original and I'd love to see more creative film making like this. The acting was very good too.

This part of American history deserves more attention

I really think Australians should know more about East Timor's history especially as we are so involved there and the instability there has ramifications for our security in the future - this dvd is a good start

I had to write a review to counter the terrible one I just read... sentimental yawn??? This movie is beautiful and I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who has an ounce of sympathy in their hearts. It looks beneath the surface at the beauty of a human heart which can overcome terrible heartlessness from others and remain pure.

It finally got funny near the end and redeemed itself somewhat

Very convincing but don't be sucked in - do your research and it is not as believable as it seems watching the movie

I found the war scenes a bit harrrowing but all up a very realistic and gripping look at the horrors of war. The special feature "Making of 'To End All Wars'" is worth looking at too.

Took a while to get used to the characters but eventually they proved to be excellent - a really nice movie.

More doctors should see this movie! As someone with a lot of experience in hospitals I can vouch for this movie's authenticity.

One of the most frightening movies I have ever seen! Makes you wonder how America can survive as the leading nation in the world.

If you like court room scenes this is a must!

The director has spared us the gore but the knowledge of the horror that is occurring all around may still depress some. For all that it is a story full of hope that there are still some good people in the world who can stand up to evil and prevail

I was pleasantly surprised that this movie was as good as the better reviews said and nowhere near as bad as the critics said.
