Press Reviews

Los Angeles Times

Takes a simple idea and turns it into a rich, universal experience. Full review.

San Francisco Chronicle

One of the most touching tales is that of Rita, whose banker husband declared himself a conscientious objector. Required to report to the police, he was sent to a detention camp, where he was as absent from her life as if he had gone to battle. Full review.

Washington Post

Distinctive not only for its frankness and intelligence but also for a restraint that verges on grace. Full review.
