Reviewer Ophira Gamliel, who categorizes both films as "Holy Blasphemy," writes: "A deep and broad take on monotheism, as well as a touching perspective on the personal relationship between an aged Jewish father and his daughter. This Nina Paley movie (Seder-Masochism), like its predecessor Sita Sings the Blues, is based on a sound study of several religions and their symbols, interactions, conflicts, and their consequences to the life of men and women. Paley has clearly a big heart and a patient ear, and a wisdom that is precious to anyone interested in religions."
