Review of Tell Me a Riddle (1980) by Lee M — 25 May 2008
I'm amazed with the tenderness with which this story is told on film. The picture moves slowly, which is good, as it allows you to pick up on poignant subtleties. Lila Kédrova is amazing as Eva. The only thing I find lacking in the film is the rhythm of Tilly Olsen's book in which you never forget why it is titled 'Tell Me a Riddle".
