It's entertainment that never lets us off the hook.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
More imaginative and responsible than the somewhat similar "Life Is Beautiful."

Washington Post by Desson Thomson
Less-than-scintillating spin on "Life Is Beautiful."

Every bit as reverent as "Schindler's List," and no less successful.

A merry, wistful, tear-and-a-smile romp about the Holocaust, of all things.
