| Feb 11, 2022

As a film of family and community, “Brighton 4th” brims with heart.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 10, 2022

A tragicomedy that sneaks up on you stealthily before flooring you with an emotional sucker punch in the final reel.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 28, 2022

The film unfolds at a pace that is unhurried yet self-assured, submerged in the rhythms that govern its characters' lives.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 23, 2022

The melancholy-infused narrative neatly balances rueful humor with genuine sweetness.

| Jun 24, 2021

Every frame is evocatively shot (Phedon Papamichael), perfectly edited (Sasha Frumin, Davit Kiknadze, Elene Asatiani) and directed by Levan Koguashvili.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 23, 2021

Koguashvili deftly blends tones in his vividly realised snapshots of Georgian manhood, both in Tbilisi, where the film starts, then in the tight-knit community of Georgian migrants in Brooklyn.
