Quote:
"Among the comical characters [Filiatrault] introduces, the women are especially striking: likeable, sensitive, not attractive by Hollywood standards, and touching in their search for love. In a sort of time warp, Filiatrault, Quebec's funniest woman filmmaker, is revealed as an old-fashioned feminist."
-- Jocelyne Denault
