The thing that disturbs me is that I'm half Nana's age and I've only got four good teeth."--Danny DeVito "It's as if John Waters had joined forces with Francis Ford Coppola to create a home movie. You can't really believe these people are real, but they are...---Nick Fraser, BBC Storyville
"A
first-rate documentary - this glorious encounter with an unforgettable
soul will have you embracing life and pooh-poohing fear of
your own demise." "Halpern's embracing yet penetrating film, with its lyrical collages of archival footage giving it a vibrant flow, is above all a celebration of a life that has been lived to its fullest." --Kevin Thomas, L.A. Times
"A documentary in the tradition of Martin Scorsese's Italianamerican·
Nine Good Teeth offers an upbeat portrait of old age, tons
of ethnic local color, brushes with greatness and a
strong, feisty matriarch unafraid of rattling the family skeletons." At 102, this Sicilian-American matriarch is still the Rock of Gibraltar, the steady one, the consigliere‚ of her family... no one can deny Mary's forcefulness or the compelling figure she cuts on screen. Straight-shooting Mary doesn'tpull many punches, and in this lively portrait by her grandson,Alex Halpern, she covers family secrets, confesses adultery and declares she's still sexually potent." -Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
