The Dybbuk is one of the Top 10 Jewish Films as selected by Kenneth Turan, film critic for the Los Angeles Times and NPR's Morning Edition.
"...the most ambitious Yiddish movie of its day... In fact, The Dybbuk is a time capsule... Drama intensifies a given moment, film freezes it. Whatever the movie's original intentions, events have dictated that its themes will be read as harbingers of exile and oblivion."
- J. Hoberman, Bridge of Light: Yiddish Film Between Two Worlds.
