CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Pablo Castelblanco Cruz A friend invited me to a screening of Putzel in New York City, I had no idea of what I was going to see, the plot, or the people in it. However as soon as it started the movie grabbed my attention, and here's why: Im not from the states and I had been living in New York for a short time, but that was not a inconvenient because the storytelling was so sharp and universal that I felt identified with the characters and situations, it spoke about community, success, facing your fears among many others, besides being hilarious throughout the whole movie. I loved the subplots too because (without giving much away) usually those minor characters are weak in movies but in here they were my favorites, performances with No stops. It was a sudden but pleasant experience that my friend shared it with me, and now I would like to share it with my friends. GIve it a watch if you have the chance.

Natalia Escobar I saw the film in a special screening in New York, then heard about a second screening and saw it again. I was in LA for vacations and saw it again. I fell in love with the characters right away. I'm not from USA and I'm not Jewish but I felt very close to them. The movie is beautifully acted, very sweet and funny, with just enough pain and sadness to keep it very human. It made me laugh at them and with them, but it also made me cry a little. I believe anyone would feel identified and enjoy it very much. I even recommended it to some friends in Australia! And they absolutely loved it. I think it's a must see.

Ellie Kahn Friends, this quirky piece is absolutely relevant and a joy to watch. I had the pleasure of seeing it at a special viewing here in NYC and "funny" does not cut it -- Putzel warms your heart, tears it apart, and warms it all up again, all the while centered around a tiny fish and bagel place. Warning: it will make you crave New York-style bagels, particularly if you haven't had one in a while. Whether you're Jewish or not, or from Manhattan or not, this film is sure to be a new indie go- to. To top it off with surprising performances by some of our generation's favorites, it will have you continually pointing to the screen saying "Omg! That guy! Yes!"

Dan B. Putzel is a film which demonstrates that with love and the right amount of courage, you can break free from your metaphorically familial and mental shackles to reveal the person you are truly meant to be.Through the keen directorial skill of Jason Chaet paired with Rick Moore's quirky, sensitive and a tiny bit raunchy writing, you find yourself deeply engrossed in a love story that is rarely seen nowadays. It is a tale with true heart and soul acted beautifully by the likes of Jack Carpenter, Melanie Lynskey, John Pankow and Susie Essman. And to top it all off, it is set in the historic and world renowned Upper West Side of Manhattan! What you find in the end is that there is a little bit of Putzel in all of us. We have our faults and our strengths and this film helps you decipher between the two. So get together with some friends and family, have a nosh and go see Putzel. You'll be glad you did!
