Morgan Wilcock Film Comment Magazine 02/14/2014
A poignant documentary about the legacy of a traumatic past as experienced across four generations. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 01/23/2014
A sparking, gossipy soap opera that's riddled with emotion and stuffed with strong characters. Go to Full Review Daphne Howland Village Voice 01/21/2014
Solnicki's spliced-together, back-and-forth approach at first seems a jumble, but of course his choices are deliberate, and they pile up into revealing art. Go to Full Review Jay Kuehner Cinema Scope 10/10/2017
Papirosen transcends the home-movie genre by being ordinary; this is a look into the abyss that never strays from the surface of its chosen milieu. Go to Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International 01/23/2014
This distillation of 200 hours' worth of home movies probably means a lot for the family at its center, but less for those of us in the audience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/25/2014 What could have and should have been a beautiful family story was list due to confusion. It might have helped to have a handout of the family tree so the audience didn't spend 30+ minutes trying to figure out who's who in the family. And there was confusion on who was narrating and who was the camera person, which in turn was who the narrator was speaking to. Too much confusion. See more Read all reviews
