Product Description

 
EDGES OF THE LORD is a harrowing exploration of historical horrors through the perspective of a child. Haley Joel Osment stars as Romek, a Jewish-Polish boy who is spirited into the countryside to avoid the coming Nazi threat. There, he is integrated into the family of a kind farmer, and the local priest (Willem Dafoe) takes Romek under his wing. Writer-director Yurek Bogayevicz skillfully juxtaposes social upheaval and chaos with the confusion and change associated with adolescence and growing up, and was rewarded the Best Screenplay prize at the Polish Film Festival for his efforts.

Edges of the Lord Tugged Only at the Edges of my Heart

Date of Review:  Dec 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: With the strength of the themes, words, actors, and historical timeframe, this movie should be much better than it is.
Review: Why did this movie never capture my heart? It has unreasonably cute kids (one of whom even wants to be Jesus), Willem Defoe, and it deals with the horrors of the Holocaust. In spite of a strong plot with loads of dramatic action, Edges of the Lord...

Pros
Strong story, features gifted child...
Cons
Some themes and performances distract...
 

Pastoral film about hiding from Nazis that finally just doesn't work

Date of Review:  Sep 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: There are far better films about this topic available. Watch only if you are a Haley Joe Osment fan.
Review: I watched Edges of the Lord for Haley Joe Osment. He was easily the strongest part of this otherwise so-so movie, but it did hide some other semi-precious gems.

Osment plays Romek, a Polish Jew who passes for a Pole. His parents give him...

Pros
Scenery, Osment's and Banel's acting
Cons
Ending is enough to erase anything...
 

Osment and Hess Shine in Little-Lauded Edges of the Lord

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: It's neither the best Osment movie or Holocaust movie out there, but it's still pretty good.
Review: On a summer day in 1999, I found myself in a theater watching The Sixth Sense, and I wasn't too happy about it. As a rule, I don't do horror movies, and the trailers had made it look like I was in for something pretty grotesque. I had a hunch I'd...
