Title: A disappointment
Review: If you have ever read the book The Devil's Arithmetic then you know that the movie is by far a disappointment. I ended up using it as a teaching lesson and helping my students learn to compare and contrast. However I really expected more from the movie. It was such a great opportunity for the film makers to help teenagers of today make a real world connection to the atrocities of the Holocaust. Instead they changed the plot around only keeping the main idea of the book, cut essential characters, changed the main characters age and her relationship with a significant minor character, added a poor sub plot of a love interest, and the list goes on. The book itself is so powerful that I can not see how the author was not repulsed by the drastic changes made to such a well thought out and organized novel. I would not recommend this movie to anyone unless they were looking for a movie with some big names and terrible acting.
