Lovely, dense and surprising.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

One of the more interesting themes of this movie is the question of which is more important to a cause, the man or the money.

Yes, they throw more than rice at this Wedding, but it's all in service of an astutely observed and sometimes shattering human drama.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Bier's not timid about tossing any number of volatile ingredients into an already-simmering pot.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

You leave the movie feeling exhausted, argumentative and exhilarated, surely the sign of a powerful film in any language.

Michael Booth, Denver Post
