Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Nowhere in Africa (2003)

Reminded me a lot of Chocolat (1988 - not the Binoche film). Jewish family leaves Germany for Kenya just before things get bad. The transition is especially hard on the wife, but eventually it becomes home. A perspective on the holocaust which I've never seen before -- that of the Jewish refugee forced from home. Interesting and well-done.
