Minimal Stories Reviews
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2006
The vision of Intimate Stories is amusingly warm-hearted without being cloying or sentimental; the landscape may be harsh, but the performances are inviting.

Quiet and unpretentious, the film's humanism isn't confrontational exactly but it's unmistakable nonetheless.
