Rotten
Its thematic scope stays rather small, and the final third of the movie seems muted and flat.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

A sweet little fable, a bit shy on substance but quite charming in the telling.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Fresh
An unapologetically small but wholly original movie, warm-hearted but not precious, and possessed of a gently wacky sensibility.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
Though employing no surreal devices and remaining within a realistic convention, Krueger takes the story of two young sisters on their own and somehow makes it seem unreal, strange, outside time.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
It's the kind of story that leaves viewers with a warm glow.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
