Tell a Friend
A film about independence, agin, and the immigration experience
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap" class="Apple-style-span">One of the most enjoyable and esthetically satisfying short films within recent memory... a gentle, enormously appealing portrait of a lovely older woman who tells of her life and of growing up in New York's lower east side.</span>
Los Angeles Times
full review
..an elderly woman describes her past with humor, irony and authority... BEST RECEIVED in the New York Film Festival.
Variety
Salty and unsentimental ... a delightful portrait.
Washington Star
Neither a symbol of the past nor a key to the present, Yudie is herself - and thus resonates with both the past and the present.
MS Magazine
Yudie has warmth, sincerity and the comic timing of a Ruth Gordon. One wishes one had more time to get to know her!
