Fresh
The film succeeds as an ethical enquiry and as populist, politically intelligent drama.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Top critics, in their words
Fresh
[A] richly textured and hearty yet fable-like view of domestic intimacy and social conflict.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Fresh
Like the characters themselves, the performances are highly sympathetic but the film remains a social debate in the great 19th-century tradition...
Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
Fresh
A memorable film to warm a winter heart.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
