| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaJudy Berlin isn't just a slice-of-life movie; it's the quintessential slice-of-life movie--a movie whose primary purpose is to capture a moment in time and contectualize it. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe debut feature film of Eric Mendelsohn reveals his fascination with the ordinary rhythms of everyday life on one extraordinary day. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA humorous, melancholy look at a suburban community in Long Island whose characters include lonely housewives, frustrated teachers, and aspiring actresses, with wonderful performances by Edie Falco, Barbara Barrie and Madeline Kahn in her last role. |

| User ReviewJohn BGreat story with some amazing performances |
| User ReviewColleen OThe definitive "gem" as far as I'm concerned. Not widely known, but oh so special. The great Madeline Kahn's final and perhaps greatest role as a troubled suburban housewife...she has that well-known Kahn quirkiness, but there is something deeper she brings out in a character she clearly loved. |
| User ReviewGordon GDreamland on Long Island. Pretty fantastic. Madeline Kahn's final film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UWeird, and worth it. Edie Falco before the Sopranos |
