    It's a heady experience following their agile ruminations on time, language and perception, deftly superimposed on a film that pleases visually and formally.

    The performances are so thoroughly integrated with the material that I'm not sure where performances begin and the work of the director and the writers leaves off. The entire cast is splendid.

  • Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

    Funny, moving, and instructive, Jonah is that rare thing: a political film that speaks to the heart as well as the mind.

  • , TV Guide's Movie Guide

    An exhilarating film with characters that are filled with life and who refuse to become trapped in endless dreams that can never come true.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    A totally believable and entertaining Swiss film about politics
