I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

"It's a shame." These are the last words in this movie. It's a shame that the ending is not the other way round. What beautiful scenes: life and love are stirring in this young man and this young women, no matter what the past and what the future. Life takes them by the hand, life let's the dead rest and turns their faces towards the light, towards love, towards the future! This is so divine, this is god speaking. But alas, they are driven out of paradise all to quickly, the teacher puts an end to it and destroys it with one sentence: "It's a shame." In the hearts of the Jewish people, there should be flowering gardens. Not concrete walls like in this movie. What a shame!
