Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

usually i don't like the war movies because are very exhausting but this i like very much for the fact of the love of the wife for his husband all the things that she do because she knows that he isn't dead. the love that the father have for their beautiful kids, who are performed by amazing young actors. the role of all the actors are amazing and wonderful all know how to react on every scene o f the movie even the kids that i think that both will be amazing actors in the future. the story that is based on a book is beautifully told in the movie and fabulously directed by the director. the movie isn't be popular in the us than in other cities but i guess that is a movie that was a movie that could be nominated to the Oscars specially Andie Macdowell.

Reading the other comments I have come to an understanding that very few people know the truth about the war in Croatia. Especially idiots from north and west Europe.One of rare movies about horrors in Vukovar and Croatia.Reading the other comments I have come to an understanding that very few people know the truth about the war in Croatia.

Hum... The story is good... But I think the movie is too long and there's scenes that could be cut... Action is difficult to fallow and the little girl who does the submarine seams really stupid... I didn't like when there is people who talk alone like after the story... But I liked to see Adrien Brody (that's why I watched this movie)! Special effects are great and there is a lot of blood, fire and explosion. Some things are surrealist and I think that is not good...If you like long movies with war and people scared, this is for you! But I don't think you should spend your time on this because it's really long and it seams longer that it is because it's always the same things: people kill other people, there is blood and explosion.

If you are watching this movie to watch one or another of the cast members, or because you want to watch a war movie, or because you want to see the story of a woman tragically trying to rescue her husband, you'll have to change your expectations when watching this film: I know I had to. Andie MacDowell, David Strathairn, Brendan Gleeson, Adrien Brody, Elias Koteas, and all the rest of the cast, are marvelous, of course, and ultimately the way they threw themselves into their characters made the movie what it was--stunning."Harrison's Flowers" is not just a love story, a war movie, or a point-blank tragedy: neither is it simply an explanation of why photographers aren't as insane as we think. Certainly it contains elements of all those ideas. The incandescent relationship between Harrison and Sarah Lloyd is beautiful in its simplicity, though it is certainly not the main thrust behind the movie, as the title might suggest; war is obviously portrayed as bloody, destructive, and painful; the photographers/photojournalists focused on in the film are gorgeous characters, all with intense motivations and ideas. But "Harrison's Flowers" goes beyond any of that, becoming--I think--one of the best films ever made about a civilian's perspective towards war. Because it primarily concerns civilians, it doesn't follow along the lines of "Behind Enemy Lines" or "Saving Private Ryan" or even "The Thin Red Line", which all concern the soldier's perspectives: watching your comrades die, following orders or doing the right thing, living as a coward or dying heroically.... No. "Harrison's Flowers" has nothing to do with fighting for a cause, or with warrior-bonds between men, or even a statement against war. It is a beautiful, graphic, tragic explanation of why photographers and photojournalists do and should continue to do what they do: capture the world of war in Kodak, to remind us of it when it is gone, to remind us of destruction in times of peace, to remind us why war between men happens, to remind us of who really suffers during war--not just the soldiers, but the civilians, as well. The film's dedication (to the photographers and journalists who died in the former Yugoslavia between 1991 and 1995) reveals this further. If you're anything like me, after seeing this film you'll feel motivated to better the world and reveal evil, not matter if it means starving, freezing with fear, being wounded, and perhaps even dying--like the very, very human photographers and journalists in this film do.
