“A moving remake...deftly directed...An assured mixture of charm and depth...”
— The Economist
“A lovely ode to childhood—and to Brooklyn”
— ”L” Magazine
"A beautifully remade version… Those familiar with the 1953 film should easily embrace this film as something fresh and new, while appreciating Lipper's homage to the original. She's someone we'll be hearing more from in the future."
