Sharply acted and cheerfully coarse.

Tackles weighty social issues with quiet intelligence and low-key charm.

FULL REVIEW 70
Eddy Terstall's film is bipolar and ultimately wrenching, but it works if you let it.
By Melissa Levine
FULL REVIEW 50
Eddy Terstall's mild brand of humor and predictable throat-catching weepiness works strictly along boob-tube illness-of-the-week lines, with plentiful shots of topless women.
By Jay Weissberg
FULL REVIEW 38
If you go to the movies to ogle topless young women, Simon is definitely for you. If, on the other hand, you want something more cerebral with your $10 ticket and overpriced snacks, stay clear of this Dutch melodrama.
