Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 10/13/2016
It takes a while, but once the Israeli film "Is That You?" leaves a certain amateurishness behind, it finds a soft, welcoming space for melancholy and connection. Go to Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times 08/25/2016
Like a funny friend in a melancholy mood, this film has humor at its center, even during its saddest scenes. Go to Full Review Sam Weisberg Village Voice 08/24/2016
This is a maudlin, manipulative film, and while it's never aggressively annoying, that's only because it severely lacks energy. Go to Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks 08/31/2016
5/10
Like so many other wannabe indie darlings, Is That You? attempts to make bold statements about loneliness and love beneath a thin veneer of calculated unconventionality. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 08/27/2016
3.9/10
Clunky, lazy, stilted and implausible. It might as well take place on another planet. Its running time of 80 minutes feels more like 2 hours. Go to Full Review Andy Crump The Playlist 08/26/2016

12/05/2017 Extraordinarily brilliant indie film. Heartfelt and touching journey through the meaning of life, opportunities lost, regrets, and the hope for a better outcome. See more 10/24/2017 Enjoyable. Great soundtrack. See more 09/01/2016 I think the film is very engaging, with it's themes of choices and regrets, and a great performance by the lead, Alon Aboutboul. He really keeps the viewer invested. I'd like to see him in more American films. But the thing I appreciated most about the film was its inherent sense of benevolence. I've seen Danny Menkin's documentaries like Dolphin Boy and they all have a deep sense of humanity. See more Read all reviews
