Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

marcelovieira I must have seen a completely different movie, because I cannot identify in any level with most of the comments here. What work of art? The movie is boring, the acting is contrived at best and the only redeeming factor would be that the story itself is great, but unfortunately it was transformed in a 127 minutes borefest. To be completely fair, the movie has its moments, mostly on the first half hour when you anticipate everything that is supposed to happen and you get to know the characters and the storyline, but then..nothing else! I really had high hopes on this movie mostly based on the IMDB reviews, but I learned a lesson. Obviously oppinions are very subjective, but I still wonder why such a high grade for a very flawed movie..

mp.visser Having read the book several times, and loving it, I was hesitant of seeing the movie. I do not normally like literature turned in to movie. It is like putting paintings into music. The movie is not all that bad, but there are several things I did not like about it. Why are the speaking English? Ridiculous, that is prostituting your language, synchronise it if you want to for the foreign market. Second, Jeroen Krabe is trying to hard and not able enough.There was a high craftsmanship in the making of it, and was filmed well, but the effects at the end where best left out. I give it an 8 out of 10. Pieter

rahager After going to the cinema to view this unusual movie, we decided to purchase it when it came out on DVD. After viewing it again, we were glad we purchased this movie. Jeroen Krabbe did a splendid job of directing it, and the cast was perfect for their roles. I am trying to obtain a copy of this book in English, and my boyfriend has read it in its original language and loved it very much. We give it a definite 2 thumbs up!

Italy-Wedding The family Krabbé has a lot of talented people. Jeroen Krabbé is a talented actor, director & painter. Also his brother Tim Krabbé is very good as atour of several books. Jeroen Krabbé decided to make "The Discovery of Heaven" based on a book of H. Musslich. They say that the book couldn't be a film it was to complicated to make a film of. But Krabbé proved that everything is possible. The film is not only religious, but there is also the friendship between Onno (played by Stephen Fry) & Max (played by Greg Wise) and disturpted by a woman.But it is Quinten how most discover the Heaven with the help of the 10 Commandments. If it will happen? Yes, but in a strange way... Krabbés vision of the Heaven is new, not with angels & saints but a hard world. This films is one of the best dutch movies and needs more attention!Krabbé you may make other films of this quality!!Rating: 9/10 or *** out of ***1/2 out of ****
