But, for the real film buff, this is a true labor of love and worth the effort."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 5/10 "Children rule the day in this semi-autobiographical film by new film maker So Yong Kim but it comes off more as an exercise in filmmaking than entertainment."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "..the film is tender, touching and charming, a portrait of quiet resilience and sisterly devotion..."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker  (1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 89% Fresh Page   1
