5.0 out of 5 stars Touching, suspenseful, and brilliant, April 28, 1999

By	Jody Noller "jnoller" (Putnam, Connecticut USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jacob Have I Loved [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the story of a young woman who lives on a secluded island (Bridget Fonda.) She has a selfish sister who she is insanely jealous of due to her beauty and stardom in the village they live in. Bridget meets an old man who was at one time "banished" from the village due to an accident that was not his fault. She learns the lessons of life, love, friendship and tradgedy through this man. A great movie for pre-teens and above

1.0 out of 5 stars Read the book; skip this, March 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Jacob Have I Loved [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Katherine Paterson's book Jacob Have I Loved is touching and well-written. The movie is awful -- it changes the plot and the relationships between the characters, and misses all the subtleties of the rivalry between the sisters. Spend your time reading the book and skip this execrable movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Film!, October 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jacob Have I Loved [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The first time I saw this film I didn't realize that it had such a deep and yet simple point to get across to its audience. In fact I didn't understand what it was trying to say at all, but the filming local and characters were so interesting I had to watch it again. In this second viewing and beyond this beautiful story came more and more into focus and I found myself loving it. Though for other viewers it may not take as long to get the point I can say that once you do, it is a fantastic story you'll love forever! I saw this movie in my freshman year of highschool and now in college I watch it still. This is simply a great film for curling up on the couch and soothing your soul for a while...A young girl consumed with jealousy learns an important lesson from an old man who has had to come to terms with it himself years before. It isn't so hard to fall into the striking world of the island for a little less than an hour of your time...you'll see. 56 minutes.
