Movie Reviews

New Times (L.A.) - 9/10 by David EhrensteinDeeply moving and exceptionally gracious piece of documentary filmmaking.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannIt's that dilemma -- a commitment to Orthodox life, the refusal to deny one's sexuality and the fear of expulsion once that sexuality is revealed -- that director Sandi Simcha DuBowski illustrates so powerfully.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Carrie RickeyAn unexpectedly moving family portrait of cousins we didn't know we had.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumWhile the compiled testimony is strong, some larger context is missing.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Loren KingExamines this dilemma with compassion and sensitivity.
The New York Times - 8/10 by A.O. ScottDirector Sandi Simcha DuBowski latches on to a provocative subject and invests it with a compelling tenderness.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasDuBowski has cast admirably far and wide for his interviews, giving the work global scope. In some instances, DuBowski is pretty clearly a proactive documentarian, inspiring some of his interviewees to dare to take steps that are risky and revealing.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Paul MalcolmRemarkable exploration of sexuality and the Jewish faith.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Kim MorganThe film seems to resonate even for people who aren't Jewish or gay, as there are so many people touched by homosexuality and religion.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenA provocative documentary that shines light on a little-explored dimension of the international debate regarding homosexuality and religion: that of gays and lesbians who also wish to belong to the Orthodox and Hassidic Jewish communities.
