Deserves all the attention it can get.

Lungulov's touch is delicate, even piercingly so, and his direction of actors, especially Thornton and Karanovic, is beautifully nuanced.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

In the end, the film has more than a few moments that linger: like slivovitz, it sneaks up on you.

Daniel M. Gold, New York Times
Rotten

The Here and There script is borderline cliched, and it makes getting a US visa seem way too easy.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Rotten

The big question isn't whether middle-aged romance will bloom, but rather, how much sub-Jarmusch deadpan humor and pathos can you take?

David Fear, Time Out New York
