The movie is good at (very) slowly turning up the heat, but a lot of it comes out half-baked.

Credit first-time writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer with pulling off something of a miracle.

The most fascinating kind of tension results, an unusual state of affairs that plays fair with the characters, and with us.

Rather than an over-the-top melodrama, it asks profound questions about human nature, empathy, and our value beyond archaic doctrines that separate more than unite.

A beautiful film that explores love, loss, and religion.

Natural performances from Kalkhof and Adler root the melodrama in genuine pathos.

A tender, tactile and just-sweet-enough story of hidden love, challenged faith and unwittingly shared grief.

There is an earnest, emotional truth to the characters and their relationships - which is plain to see in their faces, even when secrets are being hidden.

Graizer take his time and never feels the need to spell everything out, and "The Cakemaker" is a testament to what filmmakers can achieve when they trust the audience.

A small film, sensitive and, in its own way, quite effective. [Full Review in Spanish]

Kalkhof has perfect chemistry with both Miller and Adler. The characters don't have to talk for the audience to feel the loss, love and desire they're experiencing.
