The Cakemaker's reviews
Media reviews
Cinemanía
The great virtue of this simple film of encounter between two destitute is that he knows how to avoid the sensationalism and heels towards the complete acceptance of the other.
Variety
Tracing with exemplary sensitivity the unlikely bond formed between a gay German baker and the Jerusalem-based widow of the man they both loved, Graizer?s film works a complex range of social and religious tensions into its heartsore narrative, without ever feeling sanctimonious or button-pushing.
Fotogramas
Soft and kind drama (...) achieves its objectives: to reconcile (unless about 100 minutes) Germany and Israel, to question certain attitudes and, above all, to give off a lot of love for the protagonists.
The Hollywood Reporter
Graizer too often seems afraid to potentially offend anyone (but especially straight audiences along for the ride) and too polite to explore the darker recesses of grief, desire and sexuality.
