criticism
"A committed, if somewhat sentimental, plea for the despised in our society, staged by a capable young Israeli and excellently played in the title role."
“The haunting and moving film by the Israeli director Moshé Mizrahi, who lives in France, is a plea for the outcasts of society. He particularly impresses with Simone Signoret's outstanding portrayal. "
