Total Count: 9
A daughter's documentary about her Holocaust-survivor father, based on his remarkable and eloquent memoirs, suffers from a jumbled chronology and some twee self-indulgence.

Rating: 8.85/10 --
A mesmerizing, heartfelt and fascinating film that would make a compelling Hollywood biopic.

NYC Movie Guru
Not just a story of survival, it is a statement about the values of a family that were not only considered anathema to the Nazis but to the alt-right of today. In many ways, this is the most powerful anti-fascist film you will see this or any other year.

The sad truth is that we've heard countless harrowing stories of the Holocaust, and this one, for the most part, isn't presented in a way that makes it indelible or urgent.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The banality of Marina Willer's voiceover only goes to prove the old cliché that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Slant Magazine
[A]n artistically woven series of gorgeously shot images, some of which, captured in and around Prague, are specific to Alfred Willer’s childhood, while others are more impressionistic.
Los Angeles Times
In the end, this relentlessly scenic travelogue/valentine is Willer literally giving her old man peace of mind.
