Not to mention She's one of the best actresses of our time, this movie is a great time piece from the start to the end. The more Time changes, the more it's stays the same. Not to lecture, but that's what the movie its about, Showing how governments around the world has always treat their citizens, to this day. How She deals with it. I liked it, and if you love Jennifer Connelly work, usually She doesn't disappoint. Give it a try... Read more 2 people found this helpful Helpful Sending feedback... Thank you for your feedback.

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016Verified Purchase As far as I am concerned, Antonio Banderas best role. If you don't think of him as a serious actor, or think of him as a Hollywood creation without much depth, think again. He is young here, in this story, in his prime of acting life. This is an amazing, serious drama, with the quality of poetry and the film itself has the idealism of an activist. A much underrated film.

Sterman3.0 out of 5 stars A serious subject in a superficial movie Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2003Verified Purchase Chile and Argentina have gone through tragic years during the 70's, and this movie attempted to tackle what happened - everyday at the time, in Chile. Two good actors (Banderas and Connelly) seem lost in a poor script and directorship, although Allende knew the subject from the inside (I did not read her book yet).Banderas could not concentrate and acted quite bad, and you can see that the way his eyes wander in several scenes with Jennifer. She makes a big effort in her role, but this is not one of her good movies.In Jennifer's attempt to bring the South American political disaster to the screen, a much better (remarkable) film is Waking the Dead. A must see!Note: their love scene in Of Love and Shadows could produce a tender moment in this play, but was grossly produced and the director missed the chance, unfortunately.

His character is so sweet and kind. And gorgeous. Jennifer Connoly (sp.) is here also, - one of her first films - which she hardly ever mentions, btw.It's not a great film, but it has interesting scenery (and Antonio Banderas), a somewhat passionate love scene (Jennifer wearing socks, lol) and Antonio Banderas.I'd seen it many years before and was gratified to be able to see it again. The actor who plays the young priest is also nice to look at. A must for fans of Banderas Read more Helpful Sending feedback... Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, we failed to record your vote.

Scenes that should sizzle and have you on the edge of your seat are flat and stillborn, and scenes of family gatherings with no drama but simply introduce unnecessary characters are lingered on far too long. The scene that works best is the single sex scene but that is probably due more to the actors than the director. Matters are not helped by the heroine's voice-over narration, given years later than the action depicted, in a tone sounding as detached from events as I felt. Maybe Kaplan should have studied "Missing" or "Sweet Country," other movies about Pinochet's Chile, to see how to deliver such material in a way to involve the viewer and leave a lasting impression while entertaining. The film is based on an early Isabel Allende which deserved much better.

I must learn what some reviews mean.To me it was run of the mill. The political observations aside it was fairly formulaic. It brought nothing new to the table as they say these days.The Acting was ok/good the production values wer ok/good - but so they should be these days with the tech and equipment available.It's just it didn't grab me - there was some attempt at heroic stoicism but really when you've seen Casablanca you've got to go some to top it. So why is it that the likes of Casablanca grab you and this just doesn't? For one thing it dragged for me - perhaps because it didn't grab me.And the 'work in the shadows ' whatever it was I could've smacked him for that alone.Also I think part of it was it couldn't make up it mind what genre it was - love story, political comment, slice of life, spiritualism/occultism. Pick on or two and stick with it.ACID TEST: would I buy again/recommend? - NO Read more One person found this helpful Report
