Hannah Brown

Jerusalem Post

A terrific and lively cast does great work in both the serious and comic scenes and Kiss Me Kosher is an affectionate and knowing portrait of the diversity of Israeli life.

Nora Lee Mandel

Maven's Nest

This would have seemed groundbreaking as a sitcom in the 1970s era of Lear, and Peleg occasionally hits his kind of socially satirical notes for today. Every tired comic clash possible comes out - Israelis, Palestinian, Germans, Holocaust, Zionist, etc.

Rated: 5/10

It's an effective queer romcom that also manages to make a political statement.

Rated: B

Vague Visages

There is a huge lightness to Kiss Me Before It Blows Up. Peleg’s film is filled with laughter, and captures the complexities of the generational divide, but also the strength and love of families who support their children’s decisions as adults.

Such a good story about how crazy families can get when planning a wedding. I totally love that their children being lesbians was the least of their problems.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great movie, especially a hidden gem when looking for new wlw movies to watch due to being starved for content. Can get a little cringe in some bits, but still worth the watch.

Taki w porządku. Dosyć przyjemny, może wzruszyć, choć wszyscy są tu nieco walnięci na punkcie tematów niemiecko-żydowskich
