Away From Her

"Christie is poignantly appealing, easily suggesting a woman Grant might still be fascinated by after nearly a half-century. But it's Pinsent who really carries the bulk of screen time and the film itself, in a perfectly restrained turn."

"The film is by turns sharp and somber, alive to the lacerations of ordinary experience and quietly attentive to grand absurdities and small instances of grace."

"Deft, assured, unpredictable and utterly engrossing story of a woman whose descent into dementia follows an unusual course..."

"This is an astonishingly assured directorial outing for 28-year-old Canadian actress Sarah Polley - showing an artistic restraint and insight far beyond her years..."

"This is lovely stuff. If you appreciated Snowcake, then don't miss this. Julie Christie has got to be nominated for an Oscar for her work here."

"An incredibly moving film, even more so for anyone who has had a loved one affected by Alzheimer's disease or dementia..."

"It's a low-key yet powerful and uplifting story of love renewed amid the ravages of old age. Soulful and wonderfully acted."
