“There is more tenderness packed in each frame of this mini-opus of amour than a shelf full of ‘Titanic’s. Using a quick-witted blend of voice-over, pop jams and Super 8 signage, O’Brien stares unflinchingly at her 35-year-old mirror, wondering aloud about cruelties gathered beneath the name of love. Inspiration arrives via grandmother Alice, who found happiness when a teen sweet heart picked up a fifty-year-old promise, and Charlotte… who fell in love for the first time late in life.” – Mike Hoolboom
