Review of Everything Is Illuminated (2005) by Andrew I — 15 May 2010
This reminded me somewhat of a Ukrainian version of Amelie - a geeky youngster on a journey of discovery, bright colours, gentle comedy, quirkiness and accordion music. A 'nice' film in almost every way.
The only thing that stopped me giving this the full 5 stars, is that the whole plot seemed rather too convenient and contrived. Maybe in the full book, this is less apparent. On repeat viewing, it can be a bit tiresome and miserable too.
Even so, a thoughtful, different and enjoyable film, with a nice dog and some nice goats in it too!
