Reviews

Jennifer Reeder in the audience discussion about A Million Miles Away ( VIS 2014)

“'Today I met some girls who know everything about everything,' notes the substitute teacher Chrystal Chambers in her diary after a school choir rehearsal. Above all, self-confident teenagers seem to know their own worth - a knowledge that adults have lost in the course of their women's lives. The sharply drawn confrontation between young, undisputed strength and socially determined brokenness dissolves in the end in mutual recognition and mutual solidarity. In a dense sketch, rooted in pop culture, made up of a few concentrated scenes, with strong actors and precise dialogues, Jennifer Reeder opens up a wide space and sarcastically and tenderly tells of two opposing biographical stages of female self-confidence. "

“We'd like to give the Elfi Dassanowsky Foundation Prize for Best Female Director to Jennifer Reeder for 'A Million Miles Away', not just the best female director. Her film is a formally daring representation of teenagers of all ages, referring to mythical pop-cultural imagery and iconography. "
