"24.11. Sukujuhlissa ei vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vallitse vÀlitön rakkauden ja hyvÀksynnÀn ilmapiiri. FestenissÀ asetelma on viety ÀÀrimilleen. Pari juoppoa enoa ei ole vielÀ mitÀÀn! En lopulta osaa sanoa kumpi oli viihdyttÀvÀmpÀÀ seurattavaa: tarkkaan varjeltujen kulissien luhistuminen vai uskomattoman sinnikkÀÀt tunnelman paikkausyritykset. Hieno leffa. Dogma-prinsiipit eivÀt hÀiritse, vaikka kÀsivarakameraan menikin hetki tottua."
"Over at a dynastically run hotel, a high ranking family is holding a celebration for their father's 60th year.

"3.10, PC LÀmminhenkinen kotivideo perheenisÀn railakkaista 60-vuotisjuhlista. Ei vais, kyllÀ tÀmÀ on ajoittain aika raastavaa katsottavaa, kun hahmot ovat kovassa henkisessÀ riepottelussa. Elokuvan kuvaaminen dogma-tyyliin tekee tÀstÀ intensiivisemmÀn ja jollain tapaa "ÀlyttömÀmmÀn", mikÀ mielestÀni vain korostaa tarinassa olevaa tunnelatausta. Toisaalta vÀlillÀ touhu meinaa lipua hieman farssin puolelle, kun huutoa ja riehumista on niin paljon. NÀitÀ dogma-tuotoksia pitÀÀ "
