Quote:
"One of many surprising qualities about Sarah Polley's film, Away from Her, based on a great story by Alice Munro, is this 28-year-old first-time director's ability to see the strange poetic element in Alzheimer's—not only see it but bring it into focus with hard, clear images, eloquently plain dialogue and poetic references that seem as natural in the film as the snowy southwestern Ontario fields."
-- Robert Fulford
