Comments:
A
Compound Tragedy, Well Told. In "Open Hearts"
director Susanne Biers tackles a very realistic story
that easily could have been but a maudlin soap opera
(well, that is an oxymoron) but which comes across
as serious, compelling drama. "Open Hearts"
is painful to watch at points but, ultimately, it's
a strong film because of the excellent cast. 8/10.
