«Zu den glücklichsten Momenten im Leben einer Filmkritikerin gehört die Entdeckung von Filmemachern, die mit Leichtigkeit sinnfiebernde Werke auf die Leinwand zu malen vermögen und darüber hinaus auch fähig sind, alle weiteren Fragen zu stellen, die hinter die Oberfläche und zur Keimzone der Bilder führen.» Alexandra Stäheli, NZZ
