Chicago Reader
A corny but sincere weeper written by Jonathan Marc Feldman, directed by Thomas Carter, and shot mainly in Prague.

Entertainment Weekly
The movie is a somber, smoothly crafted drama about a wily adolescent who senses there's something rotten going on in his country but can't quite put a finger on it.

Despite energetic dance sequences and appealing leads, the film falls prey to pat psychologizing and some stunningly puerile notions of history.

Empire
For its historical detail and recognition that teenagers were around long before James Dean sparked up a Marlboro, this film deserves some credit.

The script is all too often downright clunky though it's saved by vigorous direction (especially in the dance sequences) and performances.
