Reviews
Claire Danes is a shy Jewish girl who dreams of love and listens to the stories of her Auscwitz survivor Nana (Jeanne Moreau).Her favorite hobby is reading but she wants to be liked by the boy, Ethan (Jude Law).And so it happens.Billy Hopkins' I Love You, I Love You Not (1996) deals with Anti Semitism and is also a romantic movie.Claire Danes in the lead is just delightful.The legendary Jeanne Moreau gives a touching performance as a woman who went through the horrors of a concentration camp.Besides the young Jude Law you can see talents such as Julia Stiles and James Van Der Beek.This is a small movie that does not make any movie history or anything.But it does arouse some feelings in you.Sometimes it's all a movie has to do.
The acting was atrocious, although with Claire Danes, I have yet to see a movie I liked. Jude Law made an interesting debut, but I didn't quite understand what he was supposed to be. Danes' character was just strange, I couldn't understand the collapse in the lecture. How many times can we beat the Jews or any other race for that matter? The move mad the mistake of making the general population seem very prejudiced. I found this movie unrealistic and boring. Too many of these "discover you're heritage" movies are coming out. At least mine, "Angela's Ashes" was decent, but if you've seen them once, you've seen them all. For those of you looking to reconnect with your past, might I suggest "The Pianist"? This movie is horrible, don't waste your time.
First of all I have to say: This is the worst film that I have ever seen, and I have seen many. Besides that, it´s just plain bad. The relationship between Nana and Daisy was so "touchy" and pathetic that I wanted to scream. Daisy is always crying in the film and it gets really annoying . I would not rent it if I were you
"I Love You, I Love You Not" is an ambiguous and confused movie about a Jewish prep school girl in NYC (Danes) who spends a lot of time hanging out and acting oh so very "girl" with her "nana" (Moreau) and falls for a too charming and over-acting Jude Law. A mess of a movie which spins nonsense around solid performances by Danes and Moreau, this flick has little to offer. Hey, if my grandma told me scary bedtime stories about the Angel of Death and the horrors of the holocaust at that tender age, I'd have issues too. Pass on this bit of fluff.
