Christina Ricci, Kate Blanchette w/d Sally Potter
Nice-looking and extremely well-acted film about a young girl who fled the pogroms in Russia and eventually made her way, after many tribulations, to the US to re-unite with her father.
CR plays her role straight...the other players - especially KB and John Turturro - emote all over the place. Johnny Depp shows up in a nice supporting role as a gypsy.
Production values were high...maybe too high. There was an air of artificiality to the film that prevented a total immersion for me. It was a heart-felt and well-meaning effort but as the resolution unfolded I found I didn't really care.
Good try.
