"Debra Granik has a gift for cinematic spaces that are vibrantly, palpably alive, and for putting you in places, whether modest homes or the great outdoors, that make you feel as if you're standing right alongside her characters." - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
"Fiercely involving in a way we're not used to, made with sensitivity and honesty." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
