Reviews
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
If you like to be immersed in what it was like living under the communist regime of Czechoslovakia, then this movie offers an excellent view into a life of one family. A boy whose father was executed for spying is brought up by his grandfather. He faces ostracism by those around him who are worried about their association with the family. The grandfather never wavers from his moral principles and his values become firmly implanted in the grandson. He also faces adversity with courage of a person who will not bend for the ones in power to get ahead. There are many comic scenes where the ridiculous contrasts of characters serving the regime are exposed. The movie is well done, great acting and a thoughtful treatment of the atmosphere in the dark days of communism.Highly recommend.
