Little White Lie

Schwartz's first-person narrative proves moving. But given that the film is barely an hour long, one can't help but feel that parts could have been developed more ...

The film is a searing portrait of collective denial - a diagnosis from which Ms. Schwartz doesn't exempt herself.

That story is interesting enough, though Schwartz uses it mainly as a pretext for navel-gazing.

Fascinating so long as it focuses on Schwartz's history and the thorny issues of racial identity that accompany it.
