Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
[A] thoughtful but slow and random snapshot of life in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
– Gary Goldstein,
Los Angeles Times,
22 Aug 2013
fresh:
The film produces moments that catch in the throat, like the man who sheepishly admits he would need rehearsal to laugh on cue. Then he adds, softly, "But cry, no problem."
– Jeannette Catsoulis,
New York Times,
8 Aug 2013
rotten:
No doubt it's affecting, but Gurchiani hasn't effectively connected the pieces to shape a larger story about Georgian youth.
– Tomas Hachard,

fresh:
A film less regional than universal in its presentation of the human urge to reshape oneself with others' help.
– Aaron Cutler,
Village Voice,

rotten:
The experiment isn't more than a slice of life, but at least it's a generous one.
