Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 06/26/2009
3.5/5
Here, the background of grief helps: it deepens the characterisation, so that the emotion feels earned. Yet there is sentimentality here, leavened by Menahemi's understated humour and sense of purpose. Go to Full Review

It has warmth and real insight. Go to Full Review
Dov Kornits FILMINK (Australia) 06/19/2009
By the time the film reaches its lump-in-the-throat conclusion, you'll be glad to have discovered this touching and universal story. Go to Full Review
Margaret Pomeranz At the Movies (Australia) 06/19/2009
3.5/5
You don't want to examine the contrivances of plot too closely but all the strands come together in a tense and emotionally satisfying climax. This is a perfect film for audiences who want to avoid confronting cinema. Go to Full Review
Louise Keller Urban Cinefile 06/12/2009
It's an enjoyable feel-good story that builds up slowly but delivers plenty of emotional zing with a joyous pay-off that takes us as high as the plane that travels from Tel Aviv to Beijing. Go to Full Review

11/22/2014 ??? ??????? ?????? ?????? ? ????, ?? ??????? ???????????! ? ???-?? ????? ??-??????????. See more 06/28/2012 One of the best Israeli films I have seen. Wish it were more readily available See more 06/01/2011 My expectations for this film were actually not that high, and the first half hour or so didn't do much to exceed them. It seemed a predictable storyline... but then I felt myself more and more drawn into the film as it went on, more so than I have felt for a long time. I want to avoid spoilers, but there were a couple of moments where I couldn't breathe with the tension... It was an adorable, really touching film. See more carlo c 05/24/2011 Excelente Película, sobre la aventura que se tienen que correr un niño a quien su madre dejo atrás y su compañera de casualidad, en donde la lección de vida para ambos será catártica y enriquecedora, misma sensación que tiene el espectador a lo largo de la película. Formidable producción, guión y actuación Israelí - China que conmueve, emociona y mantiene en tensión durante toda la proyección. No hay que perdérsela. See more 04/23/2011 A gem from Israel that really worths a look. The story, though not very innovative, it's very sensitive and touching. It works as a drama and as a comedy, the movie is agile, clear, beautiful and entertaining. The relationship between the chinese little boy and Miri, the widow, seems honest because the performances are great. See more 07/20/2010 Tierna, con momentos emotivos y otros bastante cómicos. Nunca había visto una película israelita, me pareció bastante interesante. See more Read all reviews
