	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Important but not very nuanced (...) The material is certainly beautifully shot but the psychologically rather flat screenplay, by Dennis Foon, pulls out the rug from under the audience’s feet in the home stretch"	NEU
Canada	Norman Wilner Now Toronto	"A well-meaning but ultimately superficial adaptation, relating the events of the story but missing out on the resonance."	NEG
Canada	Mark Medley The Globe and Mail	"There are some lovely performances from the younger actors, but for the most part the cast fails to support the weighty material (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
Canada	Peter Howell Toronto Star	"[It] endures, and commands attention (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
