Leave your thoughts about Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg.
| San Francisco ChronicleLeba HertzKempner once again educates and entertains with unexpected tidbits and just plain good old-fashioned filmmaking. |
| Washington PostPaul FarhiAs is, this generally excellent portrait does much to fill the void, restoring an unfortunately forgotten figure to her rightful place among broadcasting's trailblazers. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsWe're left with an impression of a vivacious pioneer; but warm shouldn't have to mean fuzzy. |
| culturevulture.netEmily S. MendelKempner has made The Goldbergs informative, entertaining, poignant, and ... nostalgic. A piece of history has been saved. |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyThis was a very informative documentary that is told with a subtle passion. I found it very warm and welcoming. If you have interest in entertainment history, this is a must see! |
| Boston PhoenixBetsy ShermanThe Goldbergs has been dismissed as schmaltz. Kempner convinces that it deserves better, as does its groundbreaking creator. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordKempner leaves no stone unturned in giving layers of dimension to Gertrude Berg, who could almost be described as the Eisenstein of sitcom television production...one of the best documentaries of the year in a year crowded with them. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn engaging, straightforward documentary on Gertrude Berg (1898-1966). |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerIn Aviva Kempner's affectionate documentary Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg, Berg, who once polled second only to Eleanor Roosevelt as one of America's most respected females, is given her due. Or at least her showbiz due. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectEssential viewing for those with an interest in Jewish popular culture and the American left. And just about everybody else as well! |
