A movie that's somehow delightful even as it visits devastation.

fresh:
A different kind of coming-of-age story, one infused with the lingering horrors of the Holocaust.

fresh:
This is a sweet, bittersweet comedy, well-executed if perhaps a little heavy on anecdotage.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Nesher ... has a populist touch, showing a sure hand with the numerous subplots and never allowing us to lose sight of his characters' humanity, even the mostly pathetic villain of the piece.
– Walter V. Addiego,

fresh:
The shadow of the Holocaust hangs over this unique Israeli coming-of-age film, which deals with a special kind of survivor's guilt.
