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.

Who would've thought that a movie starring Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Johnny Depp, and Harry Dean Stanton could be this disasterly awful, the movie started pretty powerful and they really telling what was the main pointWho would've thought that a movie starring Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Johnny Depp, and Harry Dean Stanton could be this disasterly awful, the movie started pretty powerful and they really telling what was the main point of the film then comes the present day at the times, and suddenly the movie or the story losing their main point completely with adding a very useless love story that is literally 90% of the film played with an unconvincing characters that again played awfully by all the cast with their horrible horrible accent, Christina Ricci was awful, Cate Blanchett who were always good in her previous movie before this, somehow giving her worst and it is indeed so far her worst performances yet, John Turturro was awful, and Johnny Depp is also awful PLUS he seems boring throughout the film and he really look like that he did not have any interest on playing the part in this movie, and then suddenly the last 10 minutes of the film they somehow going back to the main point and they just ended the movie just like that, it's just so unbelievable how this movie is really awfully made not only in terms of a performance but the even worst which is the story, the best performance in the movie is Harry Dean Stanton but his character did not do a lot too, the other is the Young Suzie in the beginning of the film, same case she did not appear a lot, and the other good thing is that this movie is not long, i am so happy when the credits roll, so happy that the movie was ended because i just cannot stand it anymore, The Man Who Cried is just another example of a movie that fills with a great cast but the story of the movie itself and the direction is awful, then the movie became awful completely, so awful, a mess, and it's too bad.… Expand
