1. A straightforward epic, almost alarmingly quaint in the telling.
2. This quiet, beautiful film from director Caroline Link puts a different spin on the Holocaust film genre.
3. This is one of the best films about a person coming to the viewpoint of another, only to see that person have a change in attitude.
4. Beautifully shot on location in Kenya and filled with touching, almost magical moments.
5. Mediocre, interminable soap opera.
6. Although the plot stretches thin at an overlong 141 minutes, writer-director Caroline Link never lets the picture's African setting distract attention from the human values she wants to explore.
7. Despite a shaky narrative focus and dramatic reticence, its journey is consistently absorbing.
8. Stealing scene after scene is the daughter (played by both Lea Kurka and Karoline Eckertz), who adds charm to this top-notch effort.
9. The story here is more personal and intimate than in last year's Shanghai Ghetto, in which an entire Jewish community was transported to Shanghai.
10. Audience empathy for the displaced Redlichs, coupled with the filmmaker's proffered charms of wise natives and their mysterious rituals, goes a long way toward making this lyrical travelogue a crowd pleaser.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?
A visually lovely epic with compelling, three-dimensional characters.
