What are critics saying?

Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein

Fisher's separate visit with several still-traumatized American World War II vets who helped liberate the death camps is also stirring - and horrifying.

60

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

It is an emotional journey for these grown children, now in their 40s and 50s, who engage in sometimes heated conversations, several taking place on the actual sites where Joseph and other prisoners endured unimaginable suffering.

50

Village Voice by Nick Schager

All the while, Fisher and his kin's incessant, contentious bickering exposes the ongoing difficulty of reconciling with inherited trauma, though such squabbling's protracted prominence also, ultimately, suggests the need for a bit more editorial trimming.

50

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

The siblings react with humor and horror to what they discover. So will many viewers of this self-indulgent but engaging work.

40

The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck

Six Million and One suggests the need for both a more ruthless editor and a well-trained family therapist.
