 A piece of unique and moving beauty March 9, 2008
The Boy (Plymouth UK)
This is one of those very special films that stays with you for the rest of your life. Although flawed, it still manages to be one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. A truly epic one off. Should be on everyone's viewing lists.
 Interesting and ambitious but loses its way December 13, 2007
Trevor Willsmer (London, England)
Vincent Ward's Map of the Human Heart is one of those interesting failures that never quite live up to their potential. Its tale of an Eskimo and a half-Indian Canadian girl who first meet in the children's hospital he has been taken to by Patrick Bergin's ambiguous mapmaker and whose paths cross again in WW2 until the firebombing of Dresden brings matters to ahead may offer a wide canvas, but the director seems to lose his way and a considerable amount of audience involvement en route.
Re-edited after a lukewarm Cannes screening and boasting three script editors and more producers than extras, it never reaches the heart or emotions, with an ending that seems too contrived than inevitable while as an academic exercise the script's ambitions never seem fully realised. Jason Scott Lee gives a good lead performance and individual scenes stick in the memory - the lovers bouncing on top of a barrage balloon, the vividly realised firebombing and Bergin's chillingly piquish rationale for targeting it - but it's hard not to feel that something got lost in the edit. Shot in 70mm but only shown in 35mm, the original 65mm negative for Ward's first cut is rumored to still exist, but the Region 1 NTSC DVD is from the European theatrical release version, though it does at least include 4 deleted scenes. Ann Parillaud fans will also be particularly disappointed to note that the striking and notorious UK poster art has not been used.
