Critic Reviews

Sharply acted and cheerfully coarse.

Eddy Terstall's film is bipolar and ultimately wrenching, but it works if you let it.

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

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.

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.
