| Jerusalem PostHannah BrownWriter/director Shemi Zarhin, who made the much more successful Hacochavim shel Shlomi (international title: Bonjour, Monsieur Shlomi), is still a filmmaker worth watching, but this isn't his best effort. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallSasson Gabai, in a surprisingly sympathetic performance, is the blocked Tel Aviv author who first mentors her and then publishes her work as his own. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI won't say it is a must see, but definitely a good movie. Recommended! |
| User ReviewMolly ANot as good as Shlomi's Starts, but definitely worth watching! |
| User ReviewOr SAssi Levy was great, but Sasson Gabai wasn't at his best. |

| User ReviewPretty Pety MA slow, touching film about a woman struggling and persevering despite the numerous challenges in her life. The film is somewhat unrelentingly depressing, unrelieved by either uplifting or devastating turns of events. Still, the performances by Assi Levy, Rotem Abuhab, and especially the great Sasson Gabai are worth seeing. |
