Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

More than slightly hagiographic in its approach, and, as its title might indicate, gets too heavy-handed in its moralizing. It also feels much too long - this is the sort of subject for which short films were invented.

New York Post

A record of another unique New York institution, making way for another glass box.

Rated: 2.5/4

Village Voice

This gripping documentary about unleavened bread and the people who need it asks us to consider what we in the world owe one another - and demands that we do better.
