Fresh
A mesmerizing conundrum of a suspended life in perpetual motion.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh
A film about youthful confusion made without a moment of artistic immaturity or indecision.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
With little dialogue to assist her -- just the strains of that wonderfully organic music -- [Morton] still manages to suggest the internal struggle, and to slowly reveal a fierce toughness that flies in the face of conventional morality.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Fresh
Maintains your sympathy for this otherwise challenging soul by letting you share her one-room world for a while.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
