Its an amazing Isreali movie. I would describe it in a single word as 'solemnhumour'. Highly recommended to watch..

A slow, touching film about a woman struggling and persevering despite the numerous challenges in her life. The film is somewhat unrelentingly depressing, unrelieved by either uplifting or devastating turns of events. Still, the performances by Assi Levy, Rotem Abuhab, and especially the great Sasson Gabai are worth seeing.

A beautiful movie with an interesting, yet tragic, story and excellent acting. The take home message for me was for us to have more faith in ourselves and our abilities. Don't go see this if you're in the mood for something light.

Sasson Gabai, in a surprisingly sympathetic performance, is the blocked Tel Aviv author who first mentors her and then publishes her work as his own.

Incident-packed tale is marbled with black humor but Israeli gumption triumphs by default.

Writer/director Shemi Zarhin, who made the much more successful Hacochavim shel Shlomi (international title: Bonjour, Monsieur Shlomi), is still a filmmaker worth watching, but this isn't his best effort.

Rated: 2.5/4

Boston Phoenix

There must be a cinematic new wave afoot in which directors around the world churn out treacly, "audience-pleasing" pabulum knowing that it will probably serve as the opening-night film at various festivals in the United States.

Rated: 1/4
