Quote:
"The film [Away from Her] both significantly shifts the narrative balance of [Alice] Munro's tale and, through its use of space and landscape, tells a different story. The most obvious shift is its use of Fiona's voice, which in the film is imbued with the distancing irony of Munro's narration."
