What makes The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz great is also what makes it exasperating-namely its nonjudgmental dedication to the character's point of view, petty amoralities and all.

Eric Hynes, Time Out New York
Fresh

An alternately sad and hilarious movie of dreams rampant.

Vincent Canby, New York Times
