The Jewish Week, George Robinson reviews The NY Jewish Film Festival at Lincoln Center. 'And Hanan Harchol’s giddy animations, The Nuclear Physicist Gives His Son a Haircut and The Nuclear Physicist Sings to the Seventies, are delightfully wry reflections of the bent-but-not-exactly-broken families of that same milieu...are among the most likeable and telling entries in this year’s collection.'
