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.

Like its protagonist, Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi is slow to reveal its charms.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Rotten
The story in director Shemi Zarhin's film proves predictable and a little too delighted with its own quirkiness.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
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.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh
An Israeli Good Will Hunting, a feel-good movie about an unassuming teen and the machinations necessary to reveal his hidden genius.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
