Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
An Israeli Good Will Hunting, a feel-good movie about an unassuming teen and the machinations necessary to reveal his hidden genius.

fresh:
Where writer-director Zarhin excels is in offhanded human comedy -- in the craziness that comes with being a teenager in a house full of lunatics to whom you're related.

rotten:
The story in director Shemi Zarhin's film proves predictable and a little too delighted with its own quirkiness.

fresh:
Like its protagonist, Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi is slow to reveal its charms.

fresh:
Zarhin has a fine ear for dialogue with refreshing directness and loud rings of truth, but he also knows when to let looks speak volumes.
