June 15, 2008Obviously, the cast can't be beat, but it is a bit of a weird little flick. There are uncomfortable moments, but all in all it is a good movie that tells a real and complicated story.

February 5, 2008Seldom has a film haunted me as much as this one. I've never really experienced a story that was so sad, beautiful, humorous, and mesmerizing all at once. Throughout the entire film I was of course struck by the unconventional relationship between father and daughter, but thrown ...( read more)

December 25, 2007Deeply emotional yet dull.
The concept is excellent but all over the place. Watch only for Daniel Day-Lewis and Camilla Belle, who both give great performances. -
November 7, 2009Catherine Keener e Daniel Day-Lewis nello stesso film, tipo la pace dei sensi.

October 21, 2009This movie totally creeped me out. I couldn't tell how the film wanted me to feel, which made the creepiness even more creepy. Still, it was fun to watch even if all the characters appeared to be rotting on the inside.

August 30, 2009I applaud the actors for putting on amazing performances. Especially Daniel Day-Lewis. This movie has to be watched with an open mind. Some say it's controversial, but there's nothing here to make it seem so. Maybe the only part in the movie where it may seem different, is the ki...( read more)

When Daniel Day-Lewis sprays lead in his new film, though, we're supposed to consider him a misunderstood romantic, a crusading outlaw. Bob Dylan keeps popping up on the soundtrack to make sure you ge... full review

Saddled with a highly sentimental opening and an overly dramatic end, "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" has a rich and hilarious middle that truly makes the film worth watching. full review

August 31, 2008HOLY COW, this movie is so poetic, so beautiful, perfect, and amazing in every way.I loved the visual beauty in terms of the forest and the way things were filmed. I also really connected with the friendship between daughter and dad and the ending abolutely tore me apart. I really adored this movie except for the one part where Thaddius violated Rose. BTW Daniel Day Lewis was AMAZING, of course! And Camilla Belle was simply beautiful, they were perfect for those roles :)
