Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternJan 24, 2013
Yossi spends much of its 84 minutes with a passive hero. This older Yossi is a vestige of the man he once was, an overweight and hollow-eyed vestige who drags himself through his daily rounds and solitary nights. Mr. Knoller's performance is admirable, and Yossi does find new reasons to embrace life. But his rebirth comes only after a very long requiem. Read full review

The perfectly sculpted, entirely sure-of-himself Tom ultimately seems more of a construct than a character, his carefree nature shaped almost entirely by the very wish-fulfillment clichés that the movie otherwise sidesteps. Read full review

This is a perceptive, warm-hearted work, anchored by Knoller's impressively less-is-more performance. Read full review

The film keeps its focus small, but the trouble is, the characters' emotions stay that way, too. Read full review
