    “This is a very...different film. Maddin used lighting very well and his quick shots weren't very hard to follow.” — dfposey, 18 Sep 2012

    “Guy Maddin is either certifiable, or a complete genius. In a 100 years time, they will count this very strange film maker as a genius. Come join us on the beach at Gimli to watch one of his films. That has to be one of the most unique things on the planet.” — RussP, 15 Apr 2010
