filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Jakemcclake This movie has been described as trashy, full of the 80s glamour and glitz, and a lot of negative comments have been made about the accents. The story has been critiqued as being way to long. It has been described as a soap opera. Tremendous negative comments have been made about the acting. Many people commented that they do not like the main character, Lili. I agree the accents are off and Lili is often not very likable. By the end she is simply someone searching for information. But the story does have a decent mystery that is not revealed until the very end, who is the girl's (Lili's) mother.If you watch close enough to determine what point is being made by telling Lili's life story, you will probably get the answer before it is revealed.

Paul (caspernet) To captivate a 10 yr old in a drama like this there must be something going for it. Lily (Phoebe) put across emotion excellently and I'd love to see this again. Great storyline, one of the most attention gripping films/series I have ever watched. Maybe it was partly also because she was such a pretty actress in this I maybe had a bit of a schoolboy crush. I remember the movie having a lot of flashbacks and being one of the 1st films I saw where the plot came together gradually from different angles as it went along. If anyone finds out any more information on where I can see or buy this again (I'm in the UK) then please email me at caspernet@hotmail.co.uk .... sorry review is a bit vague just wanted to drop my comment as it was so long ago (I'm 34 now) I don't remember much in detail

wtca-wright This mini-series was great,I hope that one day I will be able to buy it on video or on d.v.d. All the acting was fantastic. If you have read the book you will still enjoy this, and then go on to read and watch lace2 the sequel. Phoebe Cates (wife of Kevin Kline) was a perfect choice to play Lili as she is both beautiful and very very talented. You will be wondering who is Lili's mother and when you find out you will then be wanting to find out who is Lili's father is. The other actresses in the show portraying the potential mothers of Lili played their parts fantastically. Go ahead hire this one and enjoy.

morrowmmm I believe the book did well and the premise of the story sounds as if it could have been exciting. However this piece of trash was written by amateurs, directed by someone who probably found it hard to color by numbers and Phoebe Cates was disastrous. More than anything it used ten scenes where one would have done and was completely in love with a budget which, obviously, was far more than needed in the hands of competent producers. Quite dismal.
