A better story than Emilia Perez, not to mention a better musical.

The tale will most likely be inspirational for people of all ages, who in Mumy will find a heroine for the ages.

The central performances are not to be missed and the story is a feel-good narrative.

7/10

No matter how many strange twists or turns the movie takes, Transmitzvah is a coming-of-age journey well worth taking.

Burman’s film is at its best when depicting Mumy’s efforts to become a Bat Mitzvah, in part because it depicts the renewed relationship between the adult siblings.

3/5

Guerrero and Minujín slickly work as a duo, skillfully balancing the emotion of the reunion with the ironic commentary on the vagaries of destiny. [Full review in Spanish]

I was feeling like watching something different and refreshing…and this movie delivered. I watched dubbed and with subtitles in English. I enjoyed how it explored both the traditional religious views of gender and difficulties of being true to one’s self… I love how the singing was knitted in to the story.

The premise is such a beautiful one but the acting choices are painful to watch, especially with the lead actor Penelope Guerrero. I don't know if it was a choice made by the actor or the director, but it was the wrong one. The character of Mumy is played with such woodeness and lack of emotion, no matter how hard you look for it. The transitions do not flow together and seem amateurish.
