| Village VoiceElla TaylorDavidson weaves deeper questions of who a Jew is into this powerful tale of a clan shredded by the rage and hatred passed down through three generations. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDoris ToumarkineLeo should satisfy serious older filmgoers, even if it suffers from wobbly storytelling. |
| Time OutS. James SnyderFlimsy dialogue and fickle characters undercut the weighty historical demons in this fractured family portrait of three generations of men dealing with their emotional scars. |
