88Apart from its intriguing religious implications, the film is also a compelling look at the family, community and congregational pillars that support Lior.
-
75Though the film gets a bit repetitive, in its moving climax Lior does more than just have his bar mitzvah -- he earns it.
-
Trachtman says she made the film to illustrate the plight of disabled Americans who must contend with houses of worship that lack handicapped access, but her documentary itself isn’t always so sensitive.
-
Trachtman’s movie is not technically accomplished--the camerawork is run-of-the-mill, the structure is rambling--but it’s redeemed by the deliciously complex, practically Balzac-ian family at its center.
