Kosashvili juggles the comedy and pathos of the situation adroitly, and his cast are uniformly excellent.

Powerful and very bitter comedy
NEW YORK TIMES

An accomplished and tremendously engaging debut from Israeli director Dover Kosashvili…with its skilful mix of dry humour and impressively balanced, bittersweet observations, the film makes incisive comment on the malevolent, suffocating aspects of heritage, and the irresistible pull of family loyalty…lively script, an array of touching characters and situations that are fully expoited of their dramatic and comedic potential, this is an honest portrait of family tensions that Hollywood rarely approaches…a hugely enjoyable, affecting tale, and an exceptional piece of world cinema.
BBC

An intriguing debut…the film doesn’t go in quite the direction you expect…the sprightly romantic comedy we thought we were watching has a serious sting in its tail – it feels as if real life has intruded.
THE INDEPENDENT

Superbly acted all round, expertly paced and surprisingly graphic in places, this witty, provocative film transcends its specific cultural context to mount a universally relevant exploration of different kinds of love and responsibility.
