“A portrait of the conflicted, yet deeply loving dynamic among the children of a Holocaust survivor….their warmly combative, often darkly humorous debates prove rare, revelatory and intensely absorbing.” —Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

“A heartbreaking and wryly humane film. There’s an original and a subtle assessment of memory in Six Million and One. It takes you from the apocalyptic to the eerily ordinary….We’re reminded that history and memory require an active discussion among the later generations. A film destined for an extended life.” —David D’Arcy, ArtInfo.com

“Contemporary filmmakers are refreshingly direct in how they treat delicate material, none more so than David Fisher. His powerhouse Six Million and One isn’t the first film in which he’s forced his siblings to confront their parents’ experiences during the Nazi era, but it’s the most brutally candid and unexpectedly funny.” —Michael Fox, KQED

Romeo and Juliet in Yiddish tucks Shakespeare’s tale of greatest woe into a story of intra-Judaic culture clash in present day Brooklyn. Ms. Annenberg achieves the energy and inventiveness of an improvised, process-driven group project… You come away with the distinct feeling that it was absolutely thrilling to make. —A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans “Flat out brilliant…This is a great piece of storytelling, filmmaking and testifying. It is also, arguably, the most poignant film ever made about New Orleans” —J.B. Borders, The New Orleans Tribune

“An irresistibly charming musical about a young Israeli man in search of his missing mother…this accomplished movie contains many of Fox’s trademarks: pathos, romantic longing and wonderful storytelling.” —David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle

“Exuberance, awkwardness, recklessness, spontaneity, and yearning—qualities valued in productions of Shakespeare’s tragedy of teenage amour fou—are abundantly present in Eve Annenberg’s Romeo And Juliet In Yiddish…. effortlessly sophisticated, the movie is an astonishment almost from beginning to end.” —Amy Taubin, Art Forum

“Timely and essential… The film’s deft blend of first-person narrative and archival photos, contemporary talking heads and theatrical recreation, underscores Elie’s question: “How can our past help us survive this time?” —Larry Blumenfeld, The Village Voice

“From Eytan Fox, this flashy but solidly grounded survey of modern Israeli gay life reveals the price a talented young drag star must pay to turn his mom’s delusions into the basis for a satisfying grownup queer life.” —David Lamble, Bay Area Reporter
