“..well-intended story as more of a highlights reel of troubled behavior than as an organically unfolding narrative..”
by Gary Goldstein [Los Angeles Time]
“..too many directions can be as much of a liability for a movie as too few, and “Mighty Fine” heads in all of them..”
by Mark Feeney [Boston Globe]

“..the narrative structure of the movie is that things just sort of happen..”
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic]

“..the movie does not dwell on her Holocaust experience..”
by Stephen Holden [New York Times]

by Nick Schager [Village Voice]

by Kyle Smith [New York Post]
“..storylines get dropped or fail to connect and minor characters drift in and out of the narrative..”
by Justin Lowe [Hollywood Reporter]
“..only wish that the material he had to work with was stronger than movie-of-the-week fare..”

by Keith Uhlich [Time Out New York]
