Quote:
"Clearly by far [Anne Claire Poirier's] most personal work, [Tu as crié « Let me go »] nonetheless continues her preoccupation with maternity, which can be seen as central to her conception of femininity. [...] The film, made in black and white, combines a documentary analysis of the drug trade, calling for its legalization, with lyrical interludes in which Poirier herself reads a text written for the film by Marie-Claire Blais, and ice falling off glaciers figures death and loss."
