What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky  It may be far from perfect but between its assured filmmaking, interesting subtext and (mostly) excellent performances, it's hard not to recommend it. You don't necessarily have to rush out to see it but it's certainly worth a look in when you get the chance. | 10 |  |
