| | Anonymous 04/16/2012 | | My favorite movie of all time. Excellent drama. Puts you in the situation of the actors. Believable character interactions. I am truely disappointed in the low rating this movie has gotten. Should be 10 stars. |
| | Anonymous 10/03/2011 | | Excellent Historical Fiction piece. Certainly one of Melanie Griffith's best movies, if not THE best. Don't let the "Romance" factor fool you into thinking this is a "Chick-Flick." You'd be missing a truly excellent film. |
