Warm, bittersweet and charming.

Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News

A tender, spirited look at love and community in the midst of war.

Damon Smith, Boston Globe

It is heartwarming and often funny, but in its lightness somehow misses the mark.

The movie won 10 Israeli Academy Awards and prizes at various film festivals. It's easy to see why.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

The film eloquently persuades us that it is better to laugh than cry and better to make love than war, messages that never go out of date.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
