“An alluring vision of four children who create imaginary worlds as an escape from their domestic environment. Childhood traumas explored with sensitivity and unbridled honesty”.

Liz Czach, Programmer, Perspective Canada, The Toronto International Film Festival (September, 1999)

 

“A meticulously layered visual puzzle that slowly unravels through a series of echoing motifs on the wonder and resiliency of childhood imagination”. Donato Totaro, Offscreen

“A beautiful study of the prison of childhood, its horrors, but mostly its interior beauties, its self-protective fantasies and dreams. A wonderful ethos built from interlocking image and lyric statement”.

Maria Flook, author of My Sister Life
