	Everything Is Illuminated (2005): Reviews
		Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion.
		Everything Is Illuminated hasn't been adapted so much as gutted, stuffed, and mounted.
		Everything Is Illuminated is not a fiasco, but in some ways I'd have preferred a fiasco—something overreaching and inchoate instead of this self-consciously artistic mood piece.

	Powell's Books - Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
		Everything Is Illuminated is both hilarious and deeply moving.
		Exuberant and wise, hysterically funny and deeply moving, Everything Is Illuminated is an astonishing debut novel.
		Passionate, wildly inventive, and marked by an indelible humanity, Everything Is Illuminated mines the fl holes of history and is ultimately a story about searching: for people and places that no longer exist, for the hidden truths that haunt every family, and for the delicate but necessary tales that link past and future.

	Jonathan Safran Foer : Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close : Everything is Illuminated :Review
		With his sensational debut, Everything is Illuminated, the young and talented Jonathan Safran Foer displayed a special ability for wild inventiveness and to portray characters on a mission.
		Everything is Illuminated is messy, confusing, and at some points, startling, but remains one of the few books I've read recently that remains true to its story while still challenging the reader to experience the work on a different level.
		Everything Is Illuminated began as a thesis at Princeton under advisers Joyce Carol Oates and Jeffrey Eugenides, and Houghton Mifflin reportedly paid somewhere around half a million dollars for the rights.

	Everything Is Illuminated (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Everything Is Illuminated is sweetly and sublimely funny from the first delicious line of dialogue.
		While Elijah Wood is charming as ever as Jonathan Safran Foer (the real-life author of the novel Everything Is Illuminated), it's Eugene Hutz (playing Jonathan's Ukrainian tour-guide and translator, Alex) who truly steals this film.
		Everything Is Illuminated is about history, heritage, and the wisdom that can be gained from uncovering the past.

		This is a shame, for it means that the promise of first half of the play, which works so well to engage and intrigue, is not entirely fulfilled in the denouement of the second half.

	SF Station: Everything is Illuminated
		In comes one the most memorable characters to hit the screen this year, Alex (Eugene "this guy should be famous' Hutz), whose is bestowed by his violent father to act as an interpreter for the hapless and, to much suspicion and speculation, vegetarian Foer.
		Much of the humor in Everything is Illuminated is derived from Alex's thesaurus-reliant English and his deadpan statements.
		Everything is Illuminated is lovely, beautiful, heartfelt and funny.

	The Trades - DVD Review: Everything is Illuminated
		At the onset of "Everything is Illuminated", Foer (Elijah Wood, "Lord of the Rings") is at the deathbed of his grandmother, where she gives him a picture of his grandfather as a young man, standing next to a young woman named Augustine.
		Alex learns that the Jews who once lived in the Ukraine were treated very poorly -- so much so that many thought the coming of the Nazis might have been an improvement over their current conditions, and he begins to see his seemingly anti-Semitic grandfather in a new light.
		But when our band of travelers finally reach Trachimbrod, a number of seemingly disparate plot elements are brought to light and, true to the title, everything is illuminated in the light of the past, as history is uncovered and secrets are exposed.

	Everything is Illuminated Review
		Like the title character in Jonathan Safran Foer’s “Everything is Illuminated,” Liev Schreiber searched for his grandfather’s long-gone Ukraine shtetl.
		Having read the sprawling, intricate, “Illuminated,” I wondered how the material would be streamlined for a screenplay, especially considering numerous far (1700’s) flashbacks eloquently weaved into Safran Foer’s book.
		In their stead, the director provides us with a few brief glimpses towards the past that are almost as vivid as an extra hour of imagined pre- and post-war history.

		It was riveting to see the countryside, how American everything was for the young people and how traditional it was at their destination.
		The question “is the war over?” was heartbreaking but at the same time you have to wonder why anyone would cut themself off from the world like that.
		What it’s hard for someone who doesn’t act to realize is that everything the actor is thinking is picked up by the camera and to be so totally expressionless… it can only be accomplished by someone who has mastered the art of acting, actors struggle for years to master the skill.

		Nonetheless, Foer deftly handles the intricate story-within-a-story plot, and the layers of suspense build as the shtetl hurtles toward the devastation of the 20th century while Alex and Jonathan and Grandfather close in on the object of their search.
		Such comic relief is deft, but the all too frequent flights of lyricism stink of affectation to me, not of staggeringly impressive command of language or anything.
		Everything Is Illuminated is ultimately more of an experience than a book, an episodic, thoughtful and rewarding work.
