Hay ante todo una notable frescura en la observación de sus personajes que seguramente proviene de la habilidad de su directora y guionista Paula van der Oest. Full Review |

Scattered among the annoying angst are a few brief moments of amusement... Full Review |

The movie seems intended to show that Holland is the most inanely liberal place on Earth. Full Review |

|
|
It's good-humored, nicely photographed and inoffensive and not too long. Full Review |

2/5 |
While Zus & Zo strains for style points, it's just an off-the-shelf romantic comedy, and not a very good one. Full Review |

It's been a long time since a film made me want to change the ending. Full Review |

2/4 |

Blithely diverting family comedy is only marred by a too-precious final denouement. Full Review |

A gentle exploration of mistakes, as four siblings discover themselves and each other. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
It might have a chance as a TV sitcom, but discerning moviegoers will be bored out of their minds. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
This winning comedy joyfully embraces every possible permutation of love; cupid, it turns out, is indeed blind, and doesn't care much about gender either. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
To attempt a culinary metaphor, Ms. van der Oest manages a yolky, runny sitcom omelet rather than the airy soufflé of farce. Full Review |

|
Dutch writer-director van der Oest evidently regards herself as a purveyor of modern family values, but she is cinematically maladroit. Full Review |
