Quote:
"Madeleine Is..., at the New Yorker, is a movie about a mixed-up Vancouver girl who is trying to discover her 'authentic self.' The film was directed and co-written by Sylvia Spring, a Vancouver girl who is also, judging from the material on the screen, mixed up and (God help us) trying to discover her authentic self. [...] The material is whimsical, self-indulgent and banal and if anything it's made to seem even worse by the clumsy, amateurish way it's been filmed."
