Edges of the Lord is a GREAT movie set in the World War II era during the invasion of Poland. It is about a family who does what they can to save their child from being captured because he is Jewish and details the risks taken by those who assist with the plan. All of the actors did outstanding jobs in their roles. The movie is full of suspense and surprises and has a great story line. I would recommend this movie to anyone 15 years old and up.

This is the type of movie we only see from Europe. Very few American movies deal with the issues of childhood in a realistic manner and fewer still, deal with the issue of children growing up during a war without a Hollywood type exploitation. This film deserved greater distribution. Although not as lyrical as the excellent Island on Bird Street, this is a story that asks the viewer to decide just what sort of sacrifices he or she would have been willing to make in similar situations. As most of us are not involved in war, we must ask ourselves what are we willing to sacrifice on a daily basis for the good of society. If Haley and Wilhem had not been involved, this film would have had no American distribution at all. That is a shame. You must watch this film to fully understand and appreciate the significance of the title.

I never write a review for a movie but this one I recommend that every one should watch. Fantastic acting by all actors including the kids. You'll laugh and cry. Very heart warming.

What a movie! If you are a fan of Haley Joel Osment (what's not to love?) or even if you are not, this is a film that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, with emotional twists and turns that left me gasping for air. This film was never theatrically released in the United States (I don't know why) but it is definitely available on DVD and definitely worth watching and sharing.

Osment plays a little Jewish boy who is sent away by his parents to hide in the country side where he must pretend to be Catholic. This means this little tiny child must understand what it is to be Jewish, why it is dangerous, what it means to be Catholic and why it is important. Finding a group of friends to play with, it is intriguing to watch how they interpret their own Catholicism, and how it is acted out within the context of WWII.

See this movie. Not to be missed.

Anne Frank - The Whole Story

Edges of the Lord received very little publicity when it was released, and the American release went straight to DVD. Yet this is a film that demands watching and more than once. Haley Joel Osment gives possibly his best performance ever, and that says a lot considering his outstanding efforts in The Sixth Sense, Pay It Forward, A.I., and Second Hand Lions. He portrays a young Jewish boy in Poland during the Nazi occupation, who is sent to live with a Catholic family in rural Poland, where he must pose as a Catholic in order to survive. The only person, besides the family he is living with, who knows his true identity, is the village priest played by William Dafoe who gives an understated yet excellent performance. The drama is intense throughout, but it builds to an even more intense climax. All of the children in the movie give remarkable performances which further serve to show the true nature of what it was like to live under Nazi occupation whether a Jew or a Christian. This is a movie not to be missed, and it is a movie that should be watched together by families with children above age 12
