VHS Movie Reviews of Miss Rose White [VHS]

Movie Review: No one REALLY survives the Holocaust in tact.....
Summary: 3 Stars

No one really survives the Holocaust;in some way or another a person,nomatter how they escaped that onslaught are altered forever in their relationships to themselves and others;that is the central theme of this 1992 EMMY AWARD WINNER for outstanding movie of the year.A young Kyra Sedgwick is shown to already be the fine actress that fifteen years later will earn her GOLDEN GLOBES.The story is definitely light fare as far as Holocaust related movies go.Good companion films to MISS ROSE WHITE would be A CALL TO REMEMBER and AN AMERICAN RHAPSODY which both explore the post-war dilemna of family and assimilation.For a foreign film that is similar I suggest MENDEL (Norway).

Movie Review: Great Drama
Summary: 4 Stars

I really enjoyed this film because it showed the other side of a holocaust survivor and her family. There aren't many films made about what happened after the war to survivors of the holocaust. This film tells a good story about how a family deals with the issue. Hallmark always makes warm and touching movies that everyone can enjoy.

Movie Review: Very emotional & very well acted
Summary: 5 Stars

Great acting...they didn't seem like actors or actresses because they played their parts so well they seemed to be exactly who they're supposed to be in the movie.

It starts out a little slow, but it gets much better, and really speaks to your heart. I was crying at some sad and emotional places, and others in my family were, too.

Movie Review: Is Joseph Sargent jewish?
Summary: 2 Stars

As much as I admired the work director Joseph Sargent did on The Long Island Incident, there is an essential falseness in this Hallmark television production of Barbara Lebow's Off-Broadway Play A Shayna Maidel. A lot of this can be attributed to Lebow since her play is full of banal life lessons, but Sargent doesn't help by removing the exoticism of the Jewishness of the central characters. It's as if we have to be convinced that Judaism is just a regular religion, even if the language can sound funny and people dress oddly. I suppose this approach is relevant to Lebow's concern of what it means when a Jew assimilates, but it's also awfully disappointing. A tale of escape from the gas chambers, a letter kept despite a stay in a concentration camp, and the psychology of why the title character has a fear of intimacy is Lebow at her weakest. The latter point is particularly hokey, and we laugh thinking lucky for her her boyfriend isn't pushing for sex, though him being a window dresser may have something to do with it. And Ellis Island is presented more like an airport lounge than the sanctuary it is thought of. The best things going here are Amanda Plummer as the sister of "Miss Rose White" Kyra Sedgwick, and Maximillian Schell as Kyra's papa, since both actors bring some much needed messy feelings to the otherwise pristine happenings. Schell is so intense that we actually anticipate a darker family secret than the one revealed. As Sedgwick's spikey boss at Macy's, Penny Fuller also provides some edge, but DB Sweeney, Maureen Stapleton, and Milton Selzer are only there to react. Sedgwick may have the accent right and looks pretty in the period fashions but her overall blandness makes us long for her to lose the assimilation whitebread. Look out for Gina Gershon in a tiny part.

Movie Review: A great film
Summary: 5 Stars

Both Kyra Sedgewick and Amada Plummer deliver Oscar worthy performances. After you have watched the film you will say out loud, "what an incredible movie". It is great for all ages, it is definately worth investing two hours in.
