    Foreign, Czech. Great movie! Beautiful sets, beautiful scenery, great acting, quality film and an excellent story. About a lady doctor hiding from the Nazi's during WWII in the hillsides of the Czech Republic. An excellent film and I highly recommend it!

    Well done film that reminded me a lot of the movie "Sweet Land" and the french film "Strayed".

    The lead actress reminded me of a red headed Gweneth Paltrow. :-)

    This is one good Czech film. I just saw it a couple days ago and I instantly loved it, not just because I am from the Czech Repulblic. It has a great story, an amazing cast and characters. Watch it!!!

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

It has a familiar, lived-in feel, and if its observations of rural life at a time of political turmoil don't feel terribly original, they are nonetheless absorbing and sometimes powerful. full review
