Reviews

“Wonderfully staged and played well. The film hits the nerve of the times, even if it presses on the lacrimal gland in places. "

- Time Out Magazine

"Adventurous children's film with a dense atmosphere of time."

- Lexicon of international film

“A dog named Jed is a believable portrayal in the role of wolf . Miss Salenger too, who carries the film over long distances. Your scenes with Jed are at least as moving as anything that takes place between the human characters. "

- The New York Times

“Director Jeremy Paul Kagan demands a poignant portrayal from Meredith Salenger as a heroine. The rest of the cast do their job (also) well [...] "
