Audience Member a fantastic and adorable film about family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting as an example of Yiddish cinema in the 30s. Reasonably entertaining, Several fine songs. it's not going to grab someone who's not a fan of cinema history, though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
