5 Stars! “One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Delightful in its simplicity and profound in its wisdom. Specific yet universal, it’s an empathetic portrait of charming subjects. It’s also really funny…It is beautiful to look at, with painterly cinematography replete with compositions that look like the secret stuff unearthed from the studios of the Old Masters.” (Flick Filosopher)

4/4 Stars! “84 minutes of spectacular cinematography…is amusing and life-affirming, a gem” (Film Forward)
