jtncsmistad From thequickflickcritic.blogspot.com/ What begins as a decidedly droll road trip flick becomes anything but as this mesmerizing story of family legacy unfolds in "Everything is Illuminated".Elijah Wood stars as a socially awkward young Jewish American on a quest to find the woman who rescued his late grandfather from a village massacre during the Nazi invasion of Russia in World War II. Eugene Hutz is Alex, a strutting Hip-Hop disciple who is hired, along with his irascible granddad (Boris Leskin), by Wood's character, Jonathan (or as Alex puts it, "Jon-fen"), to serve as "expert" guides for the journey.Wood and Hutz are each more than credible and convincing in their respective and divergent roles. However, it is Leskin and Laryssa Lauret's Lista, the coveted savior Jonathan eventually meets, who really stand out here. Their poignant portrayals of two people who have experienced the most diabolical atrocities of man from a deeply intimate perceptive are extraordinarily moving and enduring. The mostly silent yet sensitive bond of knowing a lifelong struggle against internal suffering that fuses these two battered souls together generates a profound "illumination" for Jonathan and Alex both.Intriguingly, "Everything is Illuminated" marks the only theatrical release renowned actor Liev Schreiber has ever directed. He also wrote the screenplay, basing it in on the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, whose book parallels the author's own personal experience. This is a monumentally ambitious work of filmmaking by Schreiber, whose creative vision is superlatively served by the stunning cinematography of Matthew Libatique. Libatique's sweeping capturing of the vast Ukrainian countryside and the variety of settings this trio of travelers inhabit along their route are as magical as they are breathtaking.While it is particularly puzzling that Schreiber has not been at the helm of more movies, it is with great hope that he find the occasion to do so again.And soon.For more of my Movie Reviews categorized by Genre please visit: thequickflickcritic.blogspot.com/

SnoopyStyle Jonathan Safran Foer (Elijah Wood) is a peculiar guy. He collects the most mundane everyday personal things. He is Jewish. After his grandfather's death, he goes to Ukraine in search of the ancestral home town of Trachimbrod. He hires an anti-semitic cranky old man and his American pop culture loving grandson Alex to guide him. Alex's translating ability is limited. History is long forgotten. Nobody has heard of the place he's looking for.Director Liev Schreiber is trying too hard to be quirky without actually achieving any laughs. It's weird for weird's sake. Schreiber doesn't have the necessary skills to make it fun. I sit there like Wood's character with his googly eyes staring unblinkingly. For the most part, the movie is a slow weird procession. Then the movie gets to the place and it achieves something poetic. I wonder if these characters are more real, would the story be more poignant? I think the story got a bit overwhelmed by the quirky mannerisms.

reneweddan Everything is Illuminated is far better than I was expecting, it's nearly impeccable.The story is about a young man who pays for a guide to help him find the woman who saved his father from death during WWII. He embarks on a journey with a guy and his grandfather.Eugene Hutz is absolutely hilarious and his accent is amazing. He definitely was a great choice, not sure why they chose a musical artist, but he definitely was the best choice for all the right reasons. Elijah Wood does great portraying his character, the sophisticated young American.Although you will enjoy this film, it should be noted that the comedy is extremely apparent in the first half of the film, but it slowly dims down, then dies altogether as the film transitions into a more dramatic story. You should think of this film as a Comedy -> Comedy/Drama -> Drama, in that precise order.Enjoy it for what it is, and enjoy the artistic value of such a film.
