I really liked the film, but it's probably not for everyone. The Indian scenery and the trains provide an atmosphereric background to the life journey of three damaged brothers who just lost their father. Over time and some struggle they come to trust each other again.

Wonderful film watched it on the plane to Singapore. Never enjoyed a flight like that.

Liked the mix of more or less weird people in this film. But Jack Nicholson is too old to fall in love.

I have read the book of Traudl Junge, the secretary of Hitler. This is the most authentic report of the last days of Hitler and the Third Reich you can get.

One of the best horror movies ever. Ever so suble but scares the hell out of you. Nicola Kidman is excellent.

Great movie reminded me of my autistic foster child which lived with us for 8 years. First flim with John Cusack I liked.

Loved this movie! I too hope that there are still some creatures like that out there and that mankind finally gets around to admire the wonders of this world instead of destroying them

Never heard music from Johnnie before but will now. Wonderful movie about a great love. Only mistake was, he had four kids with his first wife.

not the edge of the seat thriller i thought it was, but still recommendable. A lot of the effects are not very original, like the collection of witch craft items in the chamber

There is someone who found the way out of mental illness, maybe through love. How lucky he is. Others, like my sister and cousin are engulfed by it since decades and cannot find a way out.

Must admit that I only saw the chinese part of the film, so I wasn't able to see the connection between the three short films, but the one I saw brought me close to tears, reminding me of all the injustice and the hardsphip and exploitation many poor people have to endure. Something we so easily forget. Wonderful scenes from the rural chinese landscape also make this a really worthwile film.

As we are an immigrant family, I could relate to a lot of issues. Not a superb film, but still good

Didn't quite get into the spirit of this film and stopped watching about half way through which I don't usually do, but this got too boring

Just loved to watch it with the kids.

Why are not all films made by Clint?
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
I agree with all the other persons that have rated this film. It is a series, so maybe watch it over two or three days otherwise it is too exhausting. But there is a factor of suspense in it that makes it well worth watching.

What a good way to spend an evening! Not many action films around that I could so enjoy. Although the time-machine thing is a bit illogical at times, I thouroughly loved Denzel Washington and the other actors. It seems so real.

Made me laugh several times but was not scary.

Although the script is schizophrenic this film gets a worth watching from me because it is scary in parts, makes you thinking about the morale of cloning, and the music is great. What starts of as a psychological thriller mutates to a ghost story in the second half and no one knows why. The ending is very unsatisfying too.

Could not laugh about it. Todays expectations are different!

????? What's the hype about???

Sometimes a bit boring but nice to watch the Chinese cook. A good family film, a bit too long and slow.

Wonderfully shot and very much worth watching

Even if you usually don`t like gay films- this one is a must!!!

Excellent- loved Hugo Weaving. And I don't think he did it.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Too many different story lines for me. Quit watching after 30 min. But perhaps I am just dumb.

Who wrote this script? Horrible!

Great to watch with your horse loving daughters. Was a fan of the Flicka books when I was a child and this film brought back fond memories.
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Stopped watching after 30 minutes, but then I didn`t try too hard. As a lot of other people already said: too long and boring

I was interested in this film, because I spent three months working on a farm in County Armagh in Northern Ireland in the early 1980's, at the height of terrorist attacks. Although I was therefore a bit accustomed to the dialect I understood almost nothing. I also didn`t like the brutality of the film, how can this be M rated? Some things were hard to understand if you didn`t know the history. That's why I didn't enjoy the film, although you can learn some history by watching it.

Nothing but brutality. One can understand the foundations of American society better when having seen this film.

Good watch, turned nasty at the end.

I give it only three points because, although I loved the music and the actors, I didn`t quite get the meaning. Was the violin-maker heterosexual, gay or just weird??
(Worth watching) - review by Friederike
My two little boys (9 and 11) liked it

Audrey Hepburn is so gorgeous! And she wasn't even American....

A wonderful film for children that the adults can enjoy too. Nanny was a bit too sluggish for my liking but nonetheless a superb film.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
I was moved to tears when I saw the hardship these lovely creatures have to endure. Their habitat now is threatened by global warming and maybe all their survival effort was in vain.
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Beautiful scenes alone make this film a must for every horse lover. The story line is also very appealing, although it is more a children's film. But I so loved the wonderful horse shots for example the Black Stallion galloping on the beaches when the sun sets etc.

Good film, although Roosevelt didn't really have polio but more likely Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) or acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

I agree, every child should watch it in school to make them aware of what a good life they have.

Beats many modern thrillers.

It´s boring. Maybe for people who are boring.

Beautiful film. The scenes are so beautiful that I would have liked to watch it again just for them.

Wicked humor, great and intelligent to watch, can´t be taken too serious. Did they die in the concrete?

A low budged production, shot in a garage, quite good for that. But not very believable.

Too boring for a person that isn`t interested in racing at all.

It was good to cry again. Love this film!

More a teenage film. How can someone be so stupid?

Too brutal for me, but my hubby liked it

Saw only a part of it and that was quite entertaining. Good for you, if you have seen a psychologist for too long.

Good was to train your French. The end is too realistic, but there are some good points and scenes.

Best movie ever. Is the only film I have ever watched twice. I love James Steward!

Watched it in the German translation and was amazed how language can change in 30 years. Don`t quite see the point in this film but maybe it was revolutionary back then.

Wonderful film- highly recommended, must watch again

What a good film. Not the usual war film. Had to laugh a lot about some remarks about the English, as I have experienced almost the same (I am German).

This is by far McQueens best movie in my opinion
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Not too bad for a war film. Don`t like McQueen in his hero role too much.

Liked the 60's atmosphere, but didn`t get some parts, was quite thrilling at times.
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Great play by my fav actor Steve. Sad though
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Although this theme (money for sex which ends in real love) has been used over and over again this film is still worth watching, mainly due to the excellent cast especially Sarah Jessica Parker
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Horror at it`s best. Fast paced action that keeps you nailed to your seat. Do not watch the remake however- it is just boring.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Too slow for my taste, not very scary for a supposed horror movie, but lovely scenery. Recommended for watching whilst doing something else like ironing.
(Worth watching) - review by Friederike
So many things reminded me of my relationship to my own little sister. A very thoughtful movie and very well played. Maybe a bit slow for people who like a lot of action, but I didn`t mind.
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Why has this movie only 3 points? Full of suspense and thoughtfulness. A rare find!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Could not watch it through to the end, way tooo boring. Where`s the humor? Must have hid under the bed.
(Don't bother!) - review by Friederike
A perfect film for people with a more down to earth sense of humor
(Worth watching) - review by Friederike
I have read the book long ago in school, and seen the older version, it's better than this I must say, and also it's gruesome what humans are capable of. But why blame kids? Adults go to war and there's nothing wrong with it obviously.
(Worth watching) - review by Friederike
Greatly enjoyed this one. Especially because it's true. Amazing what one person can achieve for a nation!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Very scary, but sometimes very predictable. The dead bad guy ALWAYS stands up at least twice. Why is that? Enjoyed it anyway.
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
It's worth while thinking about killer angels. Wasn't very scary. Why's the devil the good guy after all?
(Worth watching) - review by Friederike
Not as bad as I was told, I actually enjoyed watching it. It is not tto scary, but the story is a bit weird.
(Worth watching) - review by Friederike
The first ten minutes were funny and that was it. Not worth waiting for!

Marlon Brando is a great guy. But what a different time!
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Although I am a great romance lover, this film just did't get through to me. Everything seemed artificial.
(Maybe) - review by Friederike
Hopefully no one will follow the advise given in this film! Just great black humor and a differet Rowan Atkinson. Haven't enjoyed a film more in a long time!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Not very realistic, I have 5 kids but never has our family life been like theirs. Not even funny. Wast of time.
(Don't bother!) - review by Friederike
So unbelievable sad that children have to go through something like that again and again and again....
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Such an intersting story about the lives of geishas. I cried at the end.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Friederike
Very entertaining, more like a comedy. Why does Jack Sparrow always walk around as if he's gay? Ending is missing.
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
As said before, very interesting, a lot of things were new to me, but a bit too long
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Great- Well it was possibly a bit unfair towards Max Baer, he didn´t kill this man intentionally and had a bad conscience about it his whole life, he even helped to pay his victim´s kids their colleg education. I have nowhere read about a second victim of him.

Sad love story - just as I like it. Well the world poverty thing was a bit overdone but true

A film I really enjoyed- gripping right through to the end
(Excellent) - review by Friederike
Stupid stupid and also boring. Well if you´ve got nothing else to do. In any case: NOT the promised edge of the seat thriller. Shallow characters make it unimportant who dies next.
