Review For Movie Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness

Not often does a film double as a literary critic, but this is the Northrop Frye of docs. Essentially, it revises and sharpens the blunted reputation of a great writer.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail

Audiences interested in Jewish literature will find Laughing in the Darkness compelling for its deep analysis of Aleichem's works, featuring a selection of experts and the writer's granddaughter, Bel Kaufman.
Anita Li-Toronto Star

[An] absorbing PBS-style documentary.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader

A rich, winning documentary...
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic

The film adroitly sets the writer's works, his triumphs and tribulations, against the backdrop of a tumultuous period for European Jewry.
Misha Berson-Seattle Times

Dorman makes the case that Aleichem is the source from whence flows modern Jewish humor.
Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer

In the end, you're certainly inspired to read Aleichem, but not necessarily to watch Dorman's film again.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian

Throughout the film, Dorman uses ethnographic and silent-cinema footage, along with ubiquitous klezmer music, to paint a picture of the era.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

.... a thoughtful, if also conventional, overview of Aleichem's life and work, mixing straight history and biography with quotations from his writings...
Sarah Boslaugh-Playback:stl

It's a history lesson that also shows art informing the events, even changing them.
Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times

... a swift, fascinating 93 minutes ...
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review

One needn't be a student of the history or literature of the period to appreciate this excellent portrait of a fascinating and important figure.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion

It's good, but I'd wait for TV.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

Dorman's portrait is engrossing, but his Ken Burns style doesn't match his subject's vitality.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix

No Fiddling with 'Sholem Aleichem' Legacy
James Verniere-Boston Herald
