Sixty Six Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Kristin M. Jones
Throughout Sixty Six, Klahr unleashes a dazzling array of visual ideas, deftly combined with sounds, silence, or music and all in the service of what he calls the film's "pop associational mindscape."
IndieWire
Leo Goldsmith
Cleaves too closely to the pattern set out by more original films with similar subject matter. Its obvious distinctions of time and place come through in clever details, but these don't seem to serve Weiland's autobiography so much as situate it into a fa
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Since Mr. Weiland himself had grown up in a Jewish section of North London, he was able to include many details of his own childhood.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's labeled a 'true-ish story', and the results are cheeky fun.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
Sixty Six is also about accepting parents with all their frailties, coming to terms with the unfairness of life, and finding a way to switch the focus to the wonders we do have to celebrate.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The story line sounds plain and simple, but the movie is enlightened by Bernie's impassioned narration and by a gallery of small comic details.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
[Director] Weiland pours so much heart into his autobiographically 'true-ish' story that accessibility is a nonissue.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Weiland's occasional heavy-handedness is more than redeemed by the lightness of his cast.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate its uncondescending fondness for the claustrophobic warmth of family life among working-class people apprehensively inching their way toward upward mobility.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
Sixty Six may find a niche audience, but instead of depicting a boy's first steps toward manhood -- ceremony aside -- it turns into an uninvolving portrait of self-absorption.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I think it's a very heartfelt story, but we get the same thing over and over again.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The direction of this autobiographical tale by Paul Weiland (whose lengthy rap sheet runs all the way from Leonard Part 6 to Made of Honor) is less than subtle.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A dolorous comedy that leans heavily, if inoffensively, on ethnic stereotypes.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Like Running with Scissors or an exceptionally cruel episode of The Wonder Years, Paul Weiland's whimsical and eye-poppingly bright comedy is shot through with cringe-inducing misery.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
This comedy-drama is wafer-thin, but Marsan gives it some heft as an all-too-human father.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Although the subject might sound specialized, the picture is engineered with such skill that it transcends the ethnic details to become a universal story of a boy trying to find his place in an inhospitable world.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
For anyone who preferred Oliver Bean to Malcolm in the Middle.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
A thick, gooey layer of voiceover narration from Bernie is just one of several tired devices that makes pic feel hackneyed, despite some choice cuts of dialogue.
