REVIEWS
"An earthy, intense, tangy look at one mother-daughter relationship. Kind of like a Jewish-American Joy-luck Club. It’s even got Mah Johng. Only with matzoh balls instead of wontons."
"Heartwarming - story of acceptance and forgiveness"
"Unflinchingly honest!"
"Leaves the spectator in stitches without any surgical suturing. It's emotional graffiti on celluloid."
"This film is funny, sad, candid and insightful. It's a film for anyone who has ever had a mother or ever had a nose."
“You have a great style and infectious on camera presence and your mother is a force.”
