Carlos Aguilar

RTLos Angeles TimesApr 29, 2022

A trenchantly written and concise portrait of an aging man quietly unraveling.

Devika Girish

RTNew York TimesApr 28, 2022

The result is a bittersweet family portrait that, though relatable, lacks the specificity that makes for truly universal cinema.

N

Neil Young

RTThe Hollywood ReporterOct 2, 2019

A touchingly well-observed study of long-time marrieds starring the filmmaker's own parents as lightly fictionalized versions of themselves.

RTNYC Movie GuruApr 26, 2022

A nuanced, quietly moving slice of Israeli neorealism.
