Always engaging and often compelling.

Fresh
A carefully drawn portrait of family life.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh
Takes the raw ingredients of soap opera -- the spilling of family secrets and the opening of old wounds as a parent slips away -- and spins them into something truthful and quietly compelling.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
While the situations and characterizations ring true, if a bit melodramatically, the film is so understated that little dramatic effect registers.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
