Reviews
“ Dear Frankie, tells a touching story that fortunately doesn't turn into kitschy. [...] Shona Auerbach manages a cautious film of an intimate relationship between mother and child, which skirts the cliffs of exaggerated melodrama and pure sentimentality. […] It is beneficial that the directorial debutante relies less on dialogues and more on symbols, gestures and moods. It is also a stroke of luck that the film is supported by convincing actors. The viewer is not completely unraveled by Frankie's deaf-mute language, nor is he confronted with the terrible details of the family drama. "
