“ …  the film does have a refreshingly light quality to it which is unheard of in films dealing with the persecution of the Jews in Nazi-ruled areas of Europe. It doesn’t joke about the situation, but the film is more of a fun drama/thriller than a solemn damnation of the acts.”  David Brook, blueprint:review
