this be the story of a woman of great courage and compassion . the acting be excellent . i and however and felt club to death by every anti jewish cliche know . i live in the mid west during the time of this movie setting and have several jewish friend . i rarely ever saw the unkind response show in this movie . in fact the only time that i ever heard negative comment about jew be in a few adult who be prejudice about equally between all the group different than their own . in this regard and the movie be little different than many black movie that go to extremes to show victimizing of their class .
