As with the films of Emir Kusturica, whose characters also resist easy analysis, the people in Divided We Fall are completely and wonderfully human.

| Oct 8, 2001

Divided We Fall is quintessentially Czech, and it knows no borders.

Full Review | Oct 8, 2001

Has the literary richness, depth of character and tone that such a morally difficult, powerful narrative requires.

A lovely movie, one that allows its characters unexpected spurts of growth and regression, darkness and grace.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 19, 2001

A stirring, affecting story about courage, trust and the inevitability of bizarre allegiances during times of desperation.

Hrebejk directs with a sure hand and a warm heart.

Full Review | Jun 25, 2001

Director Jan Hrebejk gives it a provocative and daring twist, perching farcical mischief, wit, and pragmatism on the edge of the Holocaust.

Full Review | Jun 22, 2001

Morally complex -- and very entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 15, 2001

Hrebejk furthers his country's reputation for cinematic absurdity as the only sane artistic reaction to political insanity.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 15, 2001

Shows that it's not only possible to make a spine-tingling World War II saga without bloodshed, but also to use such stories to examine the agonizing-but-necessary values of conscience, loyalty and forgiveness.

| Jun 8, 2001

A very worthwhile entry in the proud tradition of Czech filmmakers examining serious social issues with dark humor.
