"Admittedly, a sentimental but not mawkish movie with a great message: that worth should not be based on status or wealth but on kindness and self-sacrifice."
"I think this is simply one of the best tv movies ever made! Utterly compelling, anyone who cares about love and loss, i.e. everyone, should see this."
"This is an absorbing, melancholy movie, perfect for lovers of serious drama, about a man whose way of coping as a Holacaust survivor has been the damaging route of denial and emotional repression."
