“[T]he story is spun forth ravishingly, tenderly, and urgently, with a captivating mix of beauty, spare sophistication, and profound humanity”

- Jay Carr

“At moments, the film's subject is almost shamelessly idealized; the personalities are broad strokes, less real people than symbols”

- Diana Abu-Jaber
