The Man Who Cried

Christina Ricci gör en oklanderlig insats i huvudrollen, som inte kräver mycket mer än ett par stora mörka ögon som fuktas men inte svullnar vid sorg, och en hy vit och slät som porslin.

...an achingly beautiful and quite touching movie, which also serves as a timely reminder that being a refugee is very much one of those there-but-for-the-grace-of... scenarios.

This is an amazingly ambitious movie, not so much because of the time and space it covers (a lot), but because Potter trusts us to follow her heroine through one damn thing after another.

Ricci brings her trademark gravity to the wary Suzie, but Blanchett's role is the dazzler...
