The title had more intriguing story than the actual movie

No disrespect, but I was more curious about what man was the story about because, the main character was his child, but it was pretty obvious. The actors played well, but the story was pretty common and predictable, easy solving, she could have skipped the drama and found him earlier, but that's the charm of it. It was good to see Turturro again, and not in a comedy movie, the others too, Johnny really looked like a gypsy. Peace & Love!… Expand

An important story, but it's told without craftsmanship and contains characters without personality nuances. The plot continuity has holes you could drive a truck through. Not even Blanchett, inexplicably mis-cast, can save this one.

The Man Who Cried is a film directed by Sally Potter and is about a girls journey to reunite with her father. This film is a perfect example of visual story telling at it's best.

This film is a perfect example of visual story telling at it's best. Our main character speaks so rarely that we need good visuals and great score to explain the story, which this film has. The movement of the camera combined with the directors singular view make the film flawless, but what really stuck out for me is the score. The score is used in such away that it makes you feel like you are watching a modern day opera. This film is near perfection, however it is not for everyone. Like I said our main character has vary few lines and the same is true for her love interest, so if you are looking for film to spoon feed you the plot than this film will disappoint. You really need to be an art lover and a theater nerd to really get this film. In conclusion if you are looking for a fantastic art film than this is the film for you.… Expand
