Very light, even saccharine at times, but blessed with enough pure charm to make the syrup go down a treat. Dec 2, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Viewers who aren't familiar with Orthodox Jewish culture might have trouble fully relating to this Israeli film. But everyone should be able to appreciate its heartwarming tone. Nov 23, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Dryly funny and richly humane, Ushpizin marries biblical simplicity to secular banality to depict an everyday miracle of devotion rewarded. Jun 15, 2007 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Ushpizin is engaging, entertaining and has something to say about us humans, through the prism of discovering %u2013 or re-discovering %u2013 the importance of faith, and the strength it can impart. Especially under duress. Feb 18, 2006 | Full Review…

In addition to providing a fascinating, agenda-free look at an unseen way of life, the film presents a lesson that should be welcome among people of any faith or none at all. Jan 20, 2006 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Devout and delightful. That's a rare one-two punch for a feature film. Ushpizin pulls it off. Jan 19, 2006 | Rating: 3/4

The film provides a valuable glimpse into the religious practices of ultra-Orthodox Jews living in Jerusalem. But it's also a cleverly plotted film, which, refreshingly, also features a few welcome comic elements. Jan 6, 2006 | Rating: 3.5/4
