The way I understood the promotional text was that this movie would be about a family secret that had to do with World War II; it wasn't anything like that.

The acting was good, the scenes were shot well, but the story kept getting weirder and basically is just about a dis-functional family that moved to different places due to daddy's work.

Reading later that the story was 'loosely based on' the life of Steven Spielberg made it worse. It's not a bio pic, only parts are true, and it surely hasn't got anything to do with WWII.

Had I known this, I would have bought tickets to a different movie. I think the promotional text shouldn't have written "post-World War II" but rather 'late 40's' and keep it clear for all.
