Made with care and respect, American Rhapsody manages to skirt the edge of excessive sentiment without falling victim to it.

Has an unerring eye for the banal intricacies of 1950s pre-planned suburban neighborhoods, à la Levittown.

Distinguishes itself by its subtlety and good taste. Even if we catch a hint of gypsy music on the soundtrack -- or glimpse a disturbing American neighbor lady -- Gardos steadfastly guards us from caricature. She wants to keep it real.

Ms. Gardos is not a particularly flavorful filmmaker, but she is an honest one.

The result is a heartfelt film brimming with ideas and passion but hampered by a literal approach that douses the emotional heat.

It's a case of the heart being in the right place, but the script getting in the way.

The glammed-up Kinski looks the same age throughout and only has three expressions: angry, wistful, and someone's-killed-my-dog.

Rhapsody fails to completely hook you, perhaps because the events happen so quickly you barely have time to sort out the characters.

It's in the teenage section where the film goes seriously wrong and veers from an absorbing family story.

For a movie with such a vibrant real-life base, An American Rhapsody is surprisingly low-impact.
