new york post
v.a. musetto
credit the disarming cast, especially oshri cohen as the boy and arie ellias as his eccentric grandfather. they help turn what could be a standard comedy into a life-affirming, enjoyable one.
75
new york daily news
elizabeth weitzman
deftly composed of many small moments, this gentle israeli film skirts politics to portray a family that is blessedly normal in its internal chaos.
75
seattle post-intelligencer
bill white
a warm exception to coming-of-age stories that accent the tacky and vulgar aspects of adolescent awakening.
75
philadelphia inquirer
carrie rickey
this soulful tale of a teenage underachiever who exhibits flashes of genius is a surprise on the order of wandering the movie desert and finding the garden of eden.
75
san francisco chronicle
ruthe stein
a feel-good movie.
75
boston globe
ty burr
''bonjour" is especially lucky in having shlomi bar-dayan, the 16-year-old misfit of the title, played by a young actor named oshri cohen, who's able to convey the impossibility of ever making sense of the world with a single bruised gaze.
70
la weekly
ella taylor
the film has the unpolished charm of a diamond in the rough, and it boasts a richer inner life than most of the teen movies currently bouncing off the assembly line.
70
los angeles times
kevin crust
may ultimately be slight, but its appeal lies in its ability to find hope and strength in the soulful eyes of a gentle teenager.
70
washington post
eve zibart
falls somewhere between "cinderella" and "malcolm in the middle," and that's pretty much the challenge that faces actor oshri cohen, who very nearly pulls it off.
70
washington post
stephen hunter
modest and winning.
60
tv guide
ken fox
there's nothing unique about zarhin's plot -- it's a standard coming-of-age tale with traces of "good will hunting" -- but she portrays the intra-family dynamics with unusual honesty and accuracy.
50
the hollywood reporter
frank scheck
eventually gets so bogged down in its own quirkiness that its humanistic message gets lost.
50
variety
robert koehler
sweet if slight israeli comedy.
50
village voice
leslie camhi
a bit naive and formless.
30
the new york times
dave kehr
the picture is a bland procession of loosely framed close-ups, which serve only to underline the amateurish performances.
25
miami herald
marta barber
nothing in it -- plot, dialogue or character development -- reaches today's standards of filmmaking.
the average user rating for this movie is 9.3 (out of 10) based on 3 user votes
note: user votes are not included in the metascore calculation.
