Entertainment Reviews:
...[Krabbe] directs the actors to give simple and moving performances that foster the delicate storytelling of this emotional film... -- 4 out of 5 stars
Box Office
Rating: 2/4 --
Left Luggage is one of those movies where the audience knows the message before the film begins and the characters are still learning it when the film ends.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
While it would be too much to ask for a movie about Holocaust survivors to actually be happy, Krabbé is way too heavyhanded in trying for a tragic atmosphere
New Times
Rating: C- --
A film that means well, but is too pushy in promoting its belabored point and too sentimental to be compelling as a drama.

...Rossellini and Fraser give solid and affecting performances...
Chicago Sun-Times
A small gem of a Holocaust tale that will have limited appeal.

Film Journal International
Fitful as drama, the film comes to life as a showcase for its high-profile performers.

Product Description:
Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbe's (IMMORTAL BELOVED) first feature film is a touching look at the connected lives of two Jewish families in early 1970s Belgium. Laura Fraser stars as Chaja, the 20 year-old daughter of two Holocaust survivors who eschews her faith and goes to Antwerp to study philosophy and live a bohemian life. However, when she takes a job as a nanny for the Kalmans, a Hasidic family, she begins a friendship with the devout Mrs. Kalman (Rossellini) and her four year-old son, Simcha that forces her to reevaluate the Jewish faith. An affecting and clear eyed look at Hasidic faith, which is so often glossed over and generalized in movies, LEFT LUGGAGE is a moving film, aided immeasurably by Ms. Rossellini's and Ms. Fraser's standout performances.
