The movie is loosely based on the life of Dinah. The movie was written for a twenty-first century audience; therefore, it has some historical inaccuracies. The movie is "loosely" based on the life of Dinah. If you are a Bible scholar you will notice that the story does not follow the story recorded in the Bible. The acting is noteworthy; the actors are equally matched in their abilities and do an adequate job. It was a pleasant surprise to see Debra Winger playing a gruff and a little scary grandmother. While Minnie Driver was on the screen she was a delight playing her role with great ease converting the weak eye Leah into wise beauty. The movie is well worth watching.
