Entertainment Reviews:

New York Times - 03/21/2008

"[B]uoyed by Mr. Garbarski's sense of realism -- he manages to make the movie look and feel as if were a slice-of-life drama....Ms. Faithfull explores a full and fascinating range of emotion."

Los Angeles Times - 03/28/2008

"[P]leasantly diverting, it balances calculation against humanity and generally comes out on top....A key reason for IRINA PALM's success is the actress who plays the title role."

Empire - 07/01/2008

3 stars out of 5 -- "[R]ather sweet....There's a heartwarming quality that softens the hardcore setting."
