Rating:  - Fond Memories
Enjoyed seeing the movie Sweet Lorraine. It brought back memories when I was a kid staying in the Heiden Hotel (Sweet Lorraine). Now that the Heiden Hotel has burnt down, I can still have fond memories of still seeing the hotel whenever I watch Sweet Lorraine. The main charactors, Lillian & Sam were true to life and wished they could have saved the Sweet Lorraine.
Rating:  - Best film/Worst DVD
I've just found joy....I'm as happy as a baby boy...Finally! I have waited for a decade and a half for this film to get a digital release. I've written letters to Angelika...all without response. And here it is...with a completely inappropriate cover! Don't let the bad cover put you off. This is a great film. It pays homage to the end an era that is sadly no longer around. (I know this for sure...a few years ago, I went on a pilgrimage to the location of filming, The Heiden Hotel. Even then, it was ... Read More
Rating:  - All About Characters
This is one of those rare gems - a vast ensemble cast of excellent performers, all creating individual, and quite believable characters in a bittersweet story of the last days of a summer hotel.

There's no action as such, except for a great scene of a baseball game, because the film is well focused on characterization. Who needs noise and action in every film? This should be on DVD! You won't ... Read More
Rating: - THE DIRECTION LACKS FOCUS.
The final season of a Catskill hotel that has seen its best days provides the framework for this film, featuring Maureen Stapleton as the owner who must decide whether or not to sell, Trini Alvarado as her granddaughter who wishes to soldier on as a partner, and a raft of others performing as employees of the hotel whose activities comprise numerous subplots. The work is highly episodic, but most scenes are permitted to pass with virtually no development, leading to a rather downbeat feeling in the viewer, ... Read More
Rating:  - Love the Catskills? You'll love this achingly beautiful film
While it's true that this movie has only a light, meandering plot, it's not the plot that counts: it's the astonishingly accurate, nostalgic, and bittersweet portrayal of the last days of an old Jewish Catskills hotel. It'll resonate most with those who have some connection to the Catskills. If you've ever spent a vacation at any of the big (or smaller) Jewish resorts there, you'll adore this film: its every detail is true-to-life in a way most films can't capture, and it'll make you ache for the sweetness ...
