...it's one of the smartest and most merciless comedies to come along in a while. It centers on an area of fairly narrow interest, but in its study of human nature, it is deep and takes no prisoners.

...en sand hyldest til bøgernes verden og et levende bevis på, at anerkendelse er en af tilværelsens allerstørste drivkræfter.

Filmen kunne godt have foregået på et amerikansk universitet med en far og søn, der specialiserer sig i Shakespeare-studier. Men filmens uforsonlige, fatalistiske moralske univers forvandler den til en sort komedie om det at være jøde.
