Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

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

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The Red Tent is a TV mini-series about Dinah the daughter of Jacob and half-sister to Joseph (he of the technicoloured dreamcoat fame). Told from a woman's point of view (unusual for TV/movie biblical stories) it revisits Old Testament family goings-on.I enjoyed it at three hours, any longer would have been pushing my attention span. It was pretty realistic, as far as I know - my knowledge of this era/area being somewhat limited. The acting was fairly good, bar one or two exceptions (perhaps some rushing through the production at times caused this?).All in all: a good thing for the family to watch during a festive season such as Easter or Christmas; but perhaps a little bit mature for the truly wee ones.

I absolutely loved this movie!! The acting was excellent as well as the story line. I could sense the feelings of the characters and had an easy time following the story line. I never gave much thought to Jacobs only daughter and this movie described it so well. Such as her life. It made me think of things that I never thought of before. Such as how so many people in the Bible have stories that we never knew about. I really enjoyed watching it from start to finish. It also helped me to understand Jacob more. I can't wait until the sequel comes out. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the ending because it left me wanting to know more. But I still rate it 10 stars!!! I would by the DVD once it came out.

This was a favorite book of mine. I was very worried that they would screw this but it is very true to the book. No, it is not an exact retelling of the Bible. Then again, the Bible has many versions and is written word of stories passed down. This is historical fiction loosely based on the Bible and the way women lived and were treated at the time. That is really the main point of the story. That women can learn from each other and that we cannot always rely on men to do the right thing. That women are strong, resourceful and are often supporting men behind the scenes. The problem I have is that the main characters "The Good Guys" are obviously English, light skinned with English accents. The dark ones more often than not were "The Bad Guys". Also, they kept showing her in satin sheets. I doubt they had satin sheets in 1000 BC or whatever the date was.

I would not say this is the most accurate version of events, thus earning the rating of 8. I did enjoy it, though. The performances were solid, the cast was well-chosen. Our only problem was that we recorded this as we were not to be at home for it. Tonight I got through #1, but the #2 Red Tent was heavily pixilated and jumping throughout almost the entire program.This also included the dialog. After I struggled through #2, I went back to watching live TV. I've had no trouble with the TV reception.The usual "fixes" for that were ineffectual. I was disappointed, as regardless of accuracy, this was an interestingly written tale.I hope I will be able to rent it sometime, so I can see the full story.
