Quote:
"As she often does in her films, [in Tu as crié LET ME GO Anne Claire] Poirier goes from intimate, personal, subjective stories to tackle fundamental social problems. This is her way of touching the audience. In fact, reflexion makes its way through emotion, which means that emotion is given a political value. It is through the expression of Poirier's pain that the entry into politics is made. Faithful to the kind of aesthetics that she privileges, Poirier does not limit herself to strict direct cinema but rather leaves much room for her own subjectivity and imaginary world, here mainly through her poetic voice."
