Vadim Rizov, Village Voice: WEAK "...has the vibe of one of those generic prize-winning novels about New England families falling apart in the dead of winter -- tastefully 'understated'... we learn that decorum, nice bottles of wine, and home-cooked dinners can't hide the cracks beneath."(See all of Vadim Rizov's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 227 words, 01/06/10

Alissa Simon, Daily Variety: MODERATE "...smoothly crafted but not particularly fresh... While strong perfs by Karoline Herfurth ('Perfume: The Story of a Murderer') and especially Josef Bierbichler ('Winter Journey') create plausible characters and an intense mood, they can't make the plot feel less stale."(See all of Alissa Simon's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 492 words, 09/10/08
Gautaman Bhaskaran, Hollywood Reporter: EXCELLENT "A moving film about coping with death and loss.... Painting and poetry, music and melancholy breathe out of the frames in a smoothly crafted work that describes and dissects the angst of a Bavarian family."(See all of Gautaman Bhaskaran's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 363 words, 11/24/08
