The Song of Names is made from intriguing ingredients, but they never quite coalesce into a drama that satisfies the way it should.

Despite solid performances and a top-notch classical score, the intrigue remains mild as the film mostly settles for sentimentality. February 14, 2020 | Full Review…

. . . a somber drama that waits so long to deliver its heartfelt gut-punch perhaps a viewer's patience might be worn totally away by then. February 8, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

The mystery surrounding Dovidl's disappearance should be the most compelling aspect of the film, but director François Girard's approach is so clinical and unemotional that it dilutes the urgency of Martin's mission. February 5, 2020 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A payoff is coming - you know it from the film's opening credits, or its poster - but it takes so long to reveal itself that when it does, it can't help but feel anticlimactic. January 31, 2020 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Ordinarily these stories focus on the ones in the ghettos or camps, but Lebrecht's tale is of a survivor and the weighted responsibility that surviving bears. It is ... a beautiful, poignant expression of faith, family, and the persistence of a people. January 29, 2020 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Dovidl's and Martin's dynamic shines throughout the film, bolstered by the rarity of three different sets of actors who excel both individually and as a unit. January 24, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
