Quote:
"Perhaps the most pretentious (and longest subject) is Pierre Vallières, Joyce Wieland's 30-minute focus, in the literal sense of the term, on that former Quebec separatist revolutionary expressing opinions on Quebec minorities, women's liberation and other topics. The camera never leaves the area of Vallières's lips and teeth in what is not, in effect, a film, but a stultifying lecture."
-- A.H. Weiler
