This film confronts anti-semitic stereotypes and explores their relation to contemporary Jewish identity

It describes how a seemingly innocuous environment is transformed reminding us of our pasts while firmly locating us in the present. Here the experience of the individual is one of being exposed as much as of exposing.

– Lily Markiewicz 

Grainy, sweeping shots of a station give way to stills and voice-over as a woman reflects on inherent anti-semitism and how it affects her.

– Amanda Lipman, City Limits

A brave and honest account of a Jewish woman's reality in contemporary England, breaking the silences surrounding today's fascism and racism of an environment that much rather be 'quiet and beautiful'.

 – Rachel Lowenthal, Jewish Feminist Newsletter
