Plot:
Every statuesque, beautiful blonde woman has spent more time in the company of Neanderthals than she cares to remember. Seems it's always been that way: Clan of the Cave Bear, a 1986 feature ...( read more

This was a really interesting movie. Slow and very character driven, so dont watch it if thats a problem for you. There was also very little dialog, and when there was it wasnt English. But I still found it captivating.
...And this is supposed to be a movie.
Sorry but Daryl Hannah's face is just repulsive and makes me want to burn this film.
I haven't seen this movie in a loooooong time so my rating is temporary. But the book this movie is based on made quite a lasting impression on me as a kid.
I've seen some bad reviews of this, even the author of the book, on which this is based, evidently didn't like it. I did like it though. I thought the minimal use of spoken dialog and consistent primitive sign language was well done. The subtitles did not distract, they helped because the characters do not use a known language. I identified with the theme of having to walk alone in the end because of questioning the ways of the clan too much. Ebert says, "it never quite makes them seem frightened and ignorant and vulnerable and bewildered." In a way they are subject to nature and these qualities, especially Brun who's fault is the way in which he tries to deal with these qualities. But I don't think Ebert has a legitimate critique because most cultures won't show these traits because they think they have it all figured out. Ebert also sees the fact that "every one of these people has motives that are instantly recognizable and predictable" as a fault. I think this is the point of the story, the books were bestsellers because they are about how human motives have always been the same.
I prefer "Quest for Fire" everyday of the week... Daryl Hannah without Tarantino simply turns me off...
Some nice cinematography, but the 80's probably wasn't the best era to attempt to film a story like this.
One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Completely ignores the years of research that went into the novel to show "character development" and the main character aging by having her spin around a forest glade calling her name. Total crap.
Daryll Hannah is awesome in this movie based on the book by Jean Auel i'd love to see her make movies on the rest of the books in the series Earths Children.
If you read the novel first this is a great accompanyment to that book. Though no language is used in this movie it still comes across as fresh and original.
I really loved the books and was disapointed with the movie. I think the 1980's was definately the wrong era to attempt such a huge film and do it justice. I'd really liked to see the whole series of Earth's Children books put onto a movie this day and age, it can be done now.
This movie really is only for those who have read Jean M Auel's Book, as i watched this with a few other people, and everyone who had not read the book walked out saying they couldent understand any of it.
I loved it, the book has been and still is one of the best and most favourite books i have read, it was a shame for me they had to spoil it by making 'romantic' sequals.
This movie is true to the book while softening the most cruel scenes. I do believe they made this movie perfectly and there were not many scenes i wished they took from the book.
This movie and story are a great look into the past, I only wish there was more wisdom shared in the movie as there was in the book.
I have tried to read the book to no avail, so I figure I'll just rent this and spend 3 hrs. on it rather than 3 months...(it's a THICK book!)
A disappointing adaptation of the most excellent LeGuin books. Overbearing and ponderous, it makes my butt hurt to think of sitting through it again.
Loved the book, and the movie didn't bitch it up too bad....wish they'd chosen a different lead, but.....
A good interpretation of my favorite book. Hard to transpose onto a visual medium, but this succeeds well
i like the book better...but when i was younger; i totally watched this show over andover..i really wanted to be like Ayla...
Another movie i completely adore..a power struggle for a woman to find herself when banished from a mans world...daryl hannah did a great job
It was ok, it was kind of low budget. If it was done by a big company or given alot of money to make the movie then the actors, well everything would be alot better.
The perfect movie for Darryl Hannah. She does an excellent job with use her sign languages in her character as a cavewoman by communicating each other.
I actually like this better than the book (except for the ending). It's a pretty good film, if you like the genre.
This most be Daryl's most serious film... how soes she pick her roles? She ever talks too much... Anyway, great, great book movie... Underestimated I'd say...
i have read all of the books in the series, and i am hoping that when i see the movie, it will be as good as the book.
I wish they would have made the rest of the books into movies...although they could of done a better job on the clan.
