Everything Is Illuminated(2005)- User Reviews

I happen to be a fan of Elijah Wood, so I was interested in watching this. And am I glad I did. It's a touching film that reminded me somewhat of Little Miss Sunshine, but is quite different from that all the same.

Elijah does give a great performance. He has a nerdy, cute character. The others, such as the Grandfather and the young Alex were also portrayed with talent and skill.

The cinematography/scenery is lovely. I especially enjoyed the scene where they are in the field of sunflowers.

I thought Liev Schreiber did a fine job for a first time director and screenwriter. I will keep an eye open for more films by him.
