Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

WRATH RANNDALL It hates men and the Jewish faith,.Do you think they could or would pull this with any Muslim story....No, that would be rude and raciest. Jacob is seen as a joke, good women can help shape a great man for good or evil.The idea Jacob would just say okay to false gods..wtf, and i guess he was a mental midget for he could not do anything without a woman's okay, not like advice but her okay dear, yes dear.

asparegus The Red Tent is a glimpse into what life might have been like for women back during the days of Jacob. It follows the story of Dinah, Jacob's only daughter, starting from when he meets Rachel until Dinah's birth, where she takes over as the star of the story up until his death. The story of Joseph (and subsequently, Dinah) takes place during a time where the vast majority of people neither read nor wrote. Stories were an oral tradition. So without real, concrete knowledge of the time, the Red Tent brings a captivating look at what life for women might have been like at the time. It follows this pursuit with little care for religion, which it practically ignores, including most of Joseph's story. And of course, it follows this up with the flare and dramatic license we expect from a movie (or miniseries in this case). If you're looking for a biblical story, you're going to have to look elsewhere. If you're looking for a historically-accurate piece, you should probably watch a documentary. If you're looking for a captivating piece about a girl experiencing becoming a woman, a wife, a mother, and all the other challenges of her sex set in a beautiful interpretation of Biblical times, then I think you'll really enjoy this miniseries.

edwagreen Well acted but watch for gross historical inaccuracies as the author must have desperately tried to make the Jews coming into Egypt more of a romantic adventure.True, this is a story of family betrayal and ultimate redemption, but come on, let's not lose sight of historical events occurring as they did.Laban is made out to be a drunken man, instead of the man who tricked Jacob into marrying Leah instead of his beloved Rachel.Leah's sons were evil, but killing a king and destroying their step-sister's opportunity was a bit over the top. After their dastardly deed, they are mentioned in the rest of the picture, but there is no talk of what became of them, unless the author meant letting nature and the years take their course.

ensapp If you are expecting a rehashing from the book of Old Jewish Fairy Tales this isn't it. This is a totally engrossing drama loosely based on the daughter of the biblical figure who was Jacobs daughter told from her perspective. I have to add it to my collection. I can't find it on DVD or Blue Ray so I'm breaking out my old VCR and waiting for it to come back on. This Movie was made for a more sophisticated taste. After watching the first night I was hooked and had to see part two. After reading the other reviews I'm a bit confused, did they think it was going to be a bible story ? I guess they hated most John Wayne movies too since they were mostly fiction too. I absolutely LOVED The Red Tent and I'm determined to own a copy.
