Description

Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under absurd circumstances turns into a meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the meaning of friendship.

    I recommend watching it. Saw the movie now reading the book and will then watch the movie again, and probably again unless I buy it and save some bucks.

  • A journey...an emotional jouney

    This movie went full tilt on the emotions: humor, tenderness, anger, bromance, quirky, culture shock, human shock all the while exposing a very deep mysterious romance that happened 50 years prior to the start of this journey. The acting was raw but composed and I cried. I laughed. And was made to feel a part of this trio's journey. Well worth the rent.
  • the book is better

    the prodcers did an excellent job of stripping out 100% of the power of this story and turning it into yet another feel sorry flick. if you have read the book, expect to find yourself disappointed

    Don't listen to the idiot critics. It's only their opinion. Great movie, great story, great environment, and great soundtrack.
