Village Voice by Daphne Howland
Solnicki's spliced-together, back-and-forth approach at first seems a jumble, but of course his choices are deliberate, and they pile up into revealing art.

A portrait of Argentine director Gastón Solnicki's family, Papirosen follows four generations still troubled by a war that’s never spoken of. The film juxtaposes different periods with their native image formats and landscapes,, as it focuses on a singular decade of a nouveau riche Argentine Jewish family, and the new generation’s introduction into familiar traumas and vitality.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene
Gastón Solnicki's mapping out of his family's narrative from within never feels exploitative or self-absorbed.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
But instead of a dignified stroll down genealogy lane, Mr. Solnicki has made a sparking, gossipy soap opera that’s riddled with emotion and stuffed with strong characters.
Solnicki demonstrates that a work of art can be made from the humble materials of home-shot video and various 8mm formats, especially when the eye and ear behind the camera are as observant and unabashed as they are here.
