Found something on Amazon Prime that sounded interesting, never heard anything about it before.  It's one of Scarlett Johansson's earlier roles (2001).  "An American Rhapsody."  Based on a true story.  A family flees Hungary during a time of political upheaval in the 50s.  The parents and older daughter make it to America, but something goes wrong with their plan and they leave their baby daughter behind.  The girl is with the grandmother, but she is soon thrown in jail, so the baby ends up with foster parents out in the country (the events in the beginning of the film take place in Budapest).  They raise her til she is 6, when she is finally able to join her family in California.  There are several time skips, so several actresses play the younger daughter including Johansson when she is about 15.  The parents are played by Tony Goldwyn and Nastassja Kinski.  Emmy Rossum makes a brief appearance, as does Larisa Oleynik (the younger daughter from "10 Things I Hate About You).

I thought it was well done.  Slow paced, but there was a lot of establishing characters and their history that needed to take place in order to make it all make sense.  Powerful and moving.
