I guess it's a hard task to make a film based on a novel, let alone an autobiography; not only should the director remain faithful to the spirit of the book, but also events must be presented from the writer's point of view. A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries has partly failed from that aspect. Moreover, most of the characters are not fully developed, while events are scattered within the movie, occurring with almost no linkage between them. That's probably due to the director's attempt to fit all the details of the book in a 2 hour film and thus I think that filming a mini series would have been more appropriate...
Be that as it may, I loved this movie for these reasons:
1. EXCELLENT photography and good representation of the 60s and 70s.
2. Superb acting by the whole cast
3. It's quick-paced, sentimental and even funny whenever appropriate, just at the right time.
4. Deals with issues one can easily relate to.
If you get a chance to see A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries, don't miss it!
