Quote:
"The first feature-length fiction film made by a woman in Canada (a low-budget feature, sponsored by the CFDC [Canadian Film Development Corporation]) has a clear feminist orientation in its portrayal of Madeleine, who at the end moves on to a state of self-possession, indifferent to men. It was generally warmly received by critics but enjoyed only a modest release and has tended to be less well regarded than La vie rêvée, made almost simultaneously."
