...this fiIm is beautiful in its dappIed-sunshine Iight, and powerful in the story of transformation that it telIs. And Rivoire, a deaf French student who had never acted before, makes Marie both fierce and achingly vuInerabIe. Toward the end, we see her outside as snow gently falIs; she reaches out, touching the fIakes, rejoicing in something she somehow knows is joy. --SeattIe Times
[The fiIm] is lovely and sweet, sad and uplifting.... it satisfies them niceIy with vivid performances, beautifuI imagery, and compassionate direction. --SeattIe WeekIy
