Claire Danes is a shy Jewish girl who dreams of love and listens to the stories of her Auscwitz survivor Nana (Jeanne Moreau).Her favorite hobby is reading but she wants to be liked by the boy, Ethan (Jude Law).And so it happens.Billy Hopkins' I Love You, I Love You Not (1996) deals with Anti Semitism and is also a romantic movie.Claire Danes in the lead is just delightful.The legendary Jeanne Moreau gives a touching performance as a woman who went through the horrors of a concentration camp.Besides the young Jude Law you can see talents such as Julia Stiles and James Van Der Beek.This is a small movie that does not make any movie history or anything.But it does arouse some feelings in you.Sometimes it's all a movie has to do.

The acting was atrocious, although with Claire Danes, I have yet to see a movie I liked. Jude Law made an interesting debut, but I didn't quite understand what he was supposed to be. Danes' character was just strange, I couldn't understand the collapse in the lecture. How many times can we beat the Jews or any other race for that matter? The move mad the mistake of making the general population seem very prejudiced. I found this movie unrealistic and boring. Too many of these "discover you're heritage" movies are coming out. At least mine, "Angela's Ashes" was decent, but if you've seen them once, you've seen them all. For those of you looking to reconnect with your past, might I suggest "The Pianist"? This movie is horrible, don't waste your time.

Sad, strange little movie stars Claire Danes as Daisy; a shy, bookish girl attending an elite private school in New York. When she's not gushing over the delectable Ethan (Jude Law), she's spending time with her Nana in the countryside reading books and listening to Nana's tales of her survival of the holocaust.The movie tries to intertwine the themes of post and modern day anti-semitism via Nana's stories and flashback sequences with Daisy's trials and tribulations at school when knowledge of her Jewish heritage is made public.Unfortunately, as hard as this movie tries, it never quite hits the mark. The performances from Danes and Moreau though are heartfelt, and the message is there for those who want to see it. This movie means well and attempts to educate us on one of the all time greatest blights on mankind - prejudice.Worth a look for early performances from Jude Law, James Van Der Beek and Julia Stiles before they hit the big time.

This movie actually ( in my opinion was not to bad) I just wish that there had been a better ending. Jude Law was brought to my attention for the first time in this movie. Id rate him a good B .Id give the movie a B-
