""Kolya" locates a spiritual cousin in feel-good crowd-pleaser "Noodle." Story of a sad Israeli flight attendant whose life gains meaning with the arrival of a 6-year-old Chinese boy whom she attempts to reunite with his mother, pic overcomes a number of narrative conveniences to build an emotional head of steam. Montreal fest's grand jury prize should help propel the pic to fests, arthouses and ancillary."

Variety
Variety"Here, the background of grief helps: it deepens the characterisation, so that the emotion feels earned. Yet there is sentimentality here, leavened by Menahemi's understated humour and sense of purpose."
