Nicolas Rapold New York Times With a skill that’s easy to take for granted, the filmmaker portrays the matter-of-fact eccentricities of... personalities and their love, anger, and confusion — the emotional weather system of it all. Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle With more than a hint of Grey Gardens, Bernstein’s film is both touching and unintentionally funny. Rated: 4/5 Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian It’s impossible not to see parallels with Grey Gardens, another film about an eccentric family living with cats in the greater New York metropolitan conurbation. Rated: 3/5 Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
