"About guilt and responsibility, about loss, about the terrible things human beings do, and the moments of serenity and spiritual succor to be gleaned from the natural world." - Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Poetry is daring in the ways only quiet, unhurried but finally haunting films have the courage to be." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
