Eric Henderson Slant Magazine David Sigal's documentary may not quite manage to canonize the diner, at least not to flyover country, but it sure makes it sound like a good meal and a great time. Rated: 2.5/4 May 20, 2011 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post The interviews and vintage clips are a vivid record of an extraordinary era in the city's history. Rated: 3/4 May 20, 2011 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News When Julianne Moore enthuses about the fact that kids got crayons with their meals, you have to wonder if a short film might have suited this story better. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2011 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International A unique, cherished New York restaurant and its equally singular owner are celebrated in this affectionate documentary.
