REVIEWS

There isn’t a scene that doesn’t reach the heart.

Poignant and unsettling…definitely eye-opening.

..three mother/daughter duos [the director] captures so beautifully on film.

A poignant, understated treatise on the importance of memory and familial kinship.

…funny, compassionate and tension-fraught…

The rare documentary that jumps beyond informative and entertaining into the realm of mind-expanding…

FlicKeR actually gropes at the connection between art, spirituality and science.

As rhythmic as the strobe lamp it is based on.

A fascinating documentary.

In My Parents’ Basement is brilliant.

…the editing is brilliant, the camera work spot-on, and the score is suitably ironic.

...a picture of challenging lives, often difficultly lived.

…the mother/daughter relationship with all its razor-sharp tensions.

A panorama of simmering mother-daughter tension that bubbles over…studded with revealing moments.

…a brutally candid tell-all.

…an affectionate and important little slice of Canada’s social history.

Articulate, funny and very wise…

…fascinating accounts [by the women] of their involvement in the war effort.

wonderfully intricate stories…

…gritty and naked and true…

…explosive issues explored in very personal ways…

…astonishingly intimate and emotional snapshots…
