Cliffs of Freedom

God movie. It was suprise to me, because never see a movie about greek revolution. Good romantic concept. Great performance from Jan Uddin. For independent movie i can give a solid 10. War scenes 4-5, fight scene one to one 6-7.

What an amazing period drama - with a strong female character - not something you see often. This movie has something for everyone- epic battle scenes, tragic love story, and historical references. The Fantastic casting as well , Plummer LaPone Zane , oh my!! Enjoy this amazing movie !!

As a HS world history teacher I would highly recommend this user-friendly supplement exemplar for a unit on the rise of a nationalist movement against imperialist oppression. The rarely told story of the 19th C Greek revolt against the Ottoman Empire is beautifully rendered here, replete with all the various points of view of the various levels of participant in both sides of the struggle. Feminists will love the female hero leader. It is rarely simplistic and satisfyingly complex. The characters are refreshingly multi-dimensional and motives are well developed. Costumes and battle scenes are appropriately juicy for a period piece of modest origins. Great story based on a novel. I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging it is! Great stand-out performances by the cast in general but especially from the notables Christopher Plummer, Patti Lupone, Billy Zane et al. A fun 2'15" film.

This story was severely handicapped by poor dialogue and choppy directing. There's some good acting, but it has to overcome so much poor writing. Yet, the story is compelling, I wish it had been told better.

I expected a sily movie. It was not.

There was conflict, there was goodness there was betrayal. It wasn't perfect. Obviously a low budget movie. But you will like it.
