The result is a perfectly serviceable, well acted melodrama - but why so serious?
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Fresh
The screenplay by Seth Grossman and Israeli-American director Yaron Zilberman is old-fashioned and melodramatic but stirring in its portrait of people struggling with individual egos to produce something nobler than themselves.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
