Lili Penkower.

Having lived through the 60's and know first hand how the war in Vietnam, racism and poverty aroused powerful emotions in young people, I thought that American Pastoral captured that time very well. This film accurately demonstrated the pain that many families experienced when their sons and daughters began to see their world very different than their parents, sometimes with devastating consequences. I thought that this film, with wonderful acting, amazing visuals and directing, didn't just describe the story but pulled the viewer into the emotional trauma of that time.
