Ken Jaworowski New York Times Clunky narration and badly edited stock footage do little to illuminate Rosalee's times or support her memories. Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Rosalee, in short, is the sort of mother or grandmother we all wish to have. But this cinematic tribute is too insular and self-indulgent to be of interest to anyone other than family members and friends. Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times It's unfortunate... that "Reinventing Rosalee," the documentary directed by and co-starring her daughter, Lillian Glass, isn't a more deftly constructed journey.

Audience Member Although Rosalee had a tragic life, she found how to live.Too many people are stuck in the tragedies of their past. Grieve and moving on. Live! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I LOVED it! This is a heartfelt true story of survival under the horrific reign of Hitler. After surviving that, she settled into work and a loving family life with her husband and 2 children. She suffered heartbreaking tragedy and felt as if she could not move on. However, in her 80's she determined that she would live life to the fullest. She and her daughter, accomplished PhD with many talents, embarked upon many adventures together. Rosalee loved life and has touched many lives. If you watch this, she will touch yours as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Such an inspiring film for everyone to see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This film has inspired so many people. It is a must as it shows us it is never too late to live your dreams as your age doesn't matter. It also shows that bad times are not forever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
