The performances are so uniformly good that it's a shame the characters are stuck with such a listless plot.
Top CriticMaking the most of its likable leads, the script (by Ms. Kenig and Dana Dimant) maintains an amused, nonjudgmental tone ...
Perhaps because of the film's concern with never overplaying its dramatic hand, the resolution feels too perfunctory ...
A fairly generic father-daughter story ...

Lovely little relationship comedy which hews an honest path through a dishonest forest. Elya Inbar and Gur Bentvich are perfectly credible in portraying the familial relationship.
