Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle: Director Hiner Saleem has created a magical movie that veers, even within scenes, from love story to tragedy to comic relief. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: This is frostbitten Fellini -- a film that finds fresh beauty and contentment in the wake of centuries of conquering armies. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Vodka Lemon is an appealingly wry little film that is as appetizing as its title. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Saleem nourishes his tale of the widower Hamo and widow Nina with a greening bud of romance. And he has wit and warmth to spare for all the movie's denizens. Read more
David Chute, L.A. Weekly: Hiner Saleem achieves the droll absurdity of a folktale with a vein of magical realism in this exceedingly dry and precise and slow-paced comedy set in a depressed, tiny village in northern post-Soviet Armenia. Read more
Marta Barber, Miami Herald: Despite some banalities and Romen Avinian's slightly overdone Hamo, Vodka Lemon is a fresh breath of air, warmer than the icy village in which it takes place. You'll leave the theater with a wink and a smile. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: There is no small amount of splendor to be found in its frozen panoramas and charm in its idiosyncratic storytelling. Read more
Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News: Vodka moves about as fast as the distant ice caps melt. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: This movie has an antic, mordant visual poetry that matches up with the rancor and feeling in its population's souls. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Objectively, it's a sad story of yearning and hardship, but it's structured and performed like a comedy. As life is. Read more
David Stratton, Variety: A little gem that takes a potentially grim subject and mines it for maximum humor and insight. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: ... the movie makes comic eloquence look easy. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: A thematically bleak yet subtly comic film. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Vodka Lemon dispenses with the usual conventions of most holiday films at the multiplex. Read more
