Dana Stevens New York Times It's a rare documentary about the Holocaust that would dare call itself The Optimists, but the title is oddly fitting for this chronicle of the Bulgarian Jews' near-miraculous survival of the Second World War. Rated: 4/5 Oct 20, 2005 Full Review James Crawford Village Voice Questionable as a theory of history, but as a human sentiment, it's touching to behold. Oct 18, 2005 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide This is the rare Holocaust documentary that ends on an optimistic note, and Comforty's film might even help reinforce one's faith in humankind, even as it begs the troubling question of why such courage and resistance was in short supply. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 21, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
