 Paradise Road - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
Set during World War II and dealing with the state of war that existed between Japanese captors and their charges in an all-women prisoner of war camp, "Paradise Road" is also at war with itself.
But try as it might, "Paradise Road" can't help being too purposefully uplifting for its own good, filled with non-surprising surprises and emotional epiphanies that are unenviable on the nose.
But if "Paradise Road" is realistic on a physical level, showing these women shoveling out latrines and coping with malaria as well as torture and foul food, its delineation of them as characters is considerably more pro forma.

 PARADISE ROAD - DVD
Evacuating women and children, it is also in keeping with the irony of the genre that a Red Cross ship full of innocents is strafed and sunk by the evil Japanese.
There is not so much an evolution of will as a testing of existing will, and with a lack of tension in the resiliency of the women, there is little in the way of overall tension nor, ultimately, point in their endless suffering.
Ultimately, even though Beresford has done something admirable in collecting surviving testimonials and manuscripts, his Paradise Road is one fraught with familiar dips, familiar rises, and landmarks we have marked too many times.

The warnings are posted all along this road and have also been communicated to us by messengers of Allah.
Although hell is a greater horror than the worst horror all human minds put together can ever imagine, it is easier to avoid, as we have been told about paths leading to it and given the freedom of choice to avoid those paths.

 "Paradise Road" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
It features women in a Japanese prison, so is similar to Women of Valor; but is better acted, better made, and based on a single true story rather than a composite.
Paradise Road deals with relationships among the prisoners and the positive and negative ways they adapt to their situation; therefore it's worthwhile, but not for the fainthearted.
I would like to mention the presence in the concentration camp of some very religious caracters: a missionary and some wonderful catholic nuns.
