First feature for director/co-scenarist Joel Fendelman is a middleweight drama that wears its modesty to its advantage, lending a potentially contrived tale a solid grounding in docu-style location capture and the protag's naive p.o.v. Go to Full Review
Michelle da Silva Georgia Straight May 3, 2017

John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Nov 17, 2011
3/4

Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Sep 5, 2011
5/5
A spiritual masterwork about the friendship between a Muslim and a Jewish boy and the ways in which it brings unexpected changes into their lives and faith perspectives. Go to Full Review
