Movie Review

Grade: B- Judging by this movie, Ernest Hemingway had an interesting life, to say the least. In Love and War is based on Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and more importantly Agnes von Kurowksy's recently discovered diaries, about an 18-year old boy, Hemingway, and the nurse who got him walking again after a wartime injury, Agnes von Kurowsky.

Enjoyable Film!, by L. Mooney

March 28, 2004

I disagree with the first reviewer. I felt that you do witness the emotions of Agnes. Yes, the point of view does change throughout the film, however it doesn't detract from it's overall effect. I had now seen the movie since it's release in 1997 and saw it again on cable TV this weekend and loved it even more. I now have a renewed interest in rereading "A Farewell To Arms" which I had not even considered doing since I had to read the novel in English 201 in college.
