      Leba Hertz San Francisco Chronicle A charming and entertaining movie that instills a little fantasy into the mix. Rated: 3/4 May 31, 2012 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times The performances are uneven, but there's a grimy thrill to seeing scenes from the play in subway cars and on fire escapes. Rated: 3.5/5 May 10, 2012 Full Review Joseph Jon Lanthier Slant Magazine Nearly all of the characters seem curiously representative of some seldom-seen sub-cultural trend, if they're ultimately somewhat interchangeable. Rated: 2/4 Jul 8, 2011 Full Review Stuart Klawans The Nation It's wonderful what they've done with a few gauze curtains, some candles, a bunch of funny subtitles and a lot of inventiveness. Jul 12, 2011 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com [B]lows away Shakespearean fairy dust on fusty nostalgic notions of classic Yiddish theater, with exuberance of lo-fi Luhrmann in a West Side Story set in exotic Brooklyn. Rated: 8/10 Jul 10, 2011 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews The writer-director has bitten off a bit more than she can chew but this is a must-see for anybody who loves the sound of Yiddish, as well as those interested in Jewish culture in general. The young actors, renegades from the Satmar, are superb. Jul 9, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
