This is a disappointing adaptation of Lisa See's great novel. The parallel contemporary story infused in the plot diminished the essence of this historical novel.

This film is adapted from author Lisa See supposedly a blended Asian women. The extra fills in the gaps of the offset movie story so I watched that first to fill in later what I do not understand in the ongoing film. I enjoyed the bounded…

Heard a lot about the book and this film over the years and decided to give it a shot. Though written, acted and produced by women, curious what Jackman's role was. Like some of the comments, felt that the screen adaptation was superficial…

What was a wonderful book about two girls who were sisters of the heart during the most trying years of their lives has become the most mundane and pointless movie ever. A modern side story has been added and the poetry that was in this…
