"...the highlight of any festival. Superbly written and directed...
Natalia is stunningly good... Tantoo matches her perfectly. This movie
has charm, humor, and - most of all - truth."
Mike Hughes, Gannett Entertainment News Service
"... a fine, well crafted film... heartwarming and surprisingly unpredictable...
It plays beautifully... this film rang so true. If American men knew
that we'd meet someone like Viktoria (Natalia Nazarova) if we answered
one of those mail order bride ads, we'd be swiping all the Russian women."
Merle Bertrand, Film Critic, Film Threat
Weekly
"Postmark Paradise is sweet and thoughtful; Nazarova shines as a jilted
immigrant bride, and Cardinal's tough-love, acerbic barmaid is dead
on. Spend 92 minutes in Paradise, if you can."
Alli Joseph, "The Right Coast" TNT's Roughcut.com
"Simply enchanting... Natalia is wonderful... deserves a far bigger
audience."
Nadia Caillou, Director, Sedona International
Film Festival.
"a great script and wonderful acting..."
Michael Catalano, Director, Nashville Independent
Film Festival
"warm and unpredictable... Natalia is a luminescent presence... insightful
images of everyone's small town USA."
