3/5
"My Uncle Rafael" elicits plenty of goofy chuckles even as it regularly threatens to fly off the rails. Go to Full Review
Zachary Wigon Slant Magazine 09/20/2012
2/4
It's all too simplistic, but there's something about watching this inept, callow, bourgeois family getting slapped, scolded, and generally schooled by their new, platitude-spewing Armenian "uncle" that's perversely entertaining. Go to Full Review

2/5
A hokey story with a needless reality-show overlay. Go to Full Review
Shirley Sealy Film Journal International 09/24/2012
