Critic Reviews

Director Sam Garbarski's focus occasionally skews narrow, but he does evoke the anxiety of reconciling a strict faith with secular times.Full Review

Time Out New York

The Rashevski Tango begins and ends with a burial, but the movie teems with cranky life, then heals all rifts with a dance that sets a seal of comically erotic approval on that undying genre, the domestic melodrama.Full Review

Village Voice

Picture touchingly conveys the everyday closeness of the Rashevskis, who are wont to tango their troubles away, but spiritual upheavals and tonal shifts feel artificial and strained.Full Review

Variety

In the end, though, Mr. Garbarski makes no judgments, which leaves this film feeling sweet but light: we already knew that Judaism, like most other religions, is an ever-evolving collage.Full Review

The New York Times

The central metaphor of dance, though, is forced, a standard-issue clich about dancing away problems.Full Review
