"This first film by a brilliant multi-talented artist and PhD (Kathleen Collins) is already infused with the wisdom of old age that the filmmaker never got a chance to even see and yet it sparkles with the ripe passionate yearnings of youth, a true lust for life which she always retained."
Dennis Leroy Kangalee, The Luminal Theater
