Review of Everything Is Illuminated (2005) by Mattb. — 08 Dec 2006
The movie cuts the most poignant sections of the novel, entirely eliminating the "flashbacks" to the writer's resulting novel. Added character quirks don't improve upon those in Safran Foer's novel and move the film into the realm of kitsch.
If you liked the film, read the book. The film is a pale reflection.
