MarieSamuelsJan 8, 200710This is an intelligent and touching family drama with lots of comedic touches. It is a humanistic story and portrays an unfamiliar world -- that of the Buenos Aires Jewish intellectuals. A winner.

SebastianG.Jan 26, 200710Burman gets even better with this last movie of his trilogy of Jewish fathers from Waiting the Mesaiah to Lost Embrace, this one is a great story and very well told!

60Engaging and well acted, the film is admirably low-key, yet Burman's relaxed approach becomes a liability--everything goes down smoothly but leaves one hungry for something more substantial.
-
50A meticulously observed story about fathers and sons within the Argentine Jewish community...What the film desperately lacks, however, is any meaningful conflict. Thus, there is little story here.
-
70A deft, witty and emotionally rewarding study of a thirtysomething man in his roles as father and son.
