Critic Reviews

S. James Snyder

Director Sam Garbarski’s focus occasionally skews narrow, but he does evoke the anxiety of reconciling a strict faith with secular times. Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

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. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

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. Read full review

Ella Taylor

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. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

The central metaphor of dance, though, is forced, a standard-issue cliché about dancing away problems. Read full review
