« A charming low-budget documentary by a new Quebec woman director is getting attention in the front-ranking Critics' Week of the Cannes international film festival. Les Servantes du Bon Dieu (The Handmaidens of God) was screened Thursday as one of seven films chosen worldwide by a committee of French film critics during a special part of the two-week festival dedicated to first and second films by unknown directors. Portraying the lives of members of Les Petites Soeurs de la Sainte Famille (The Little Sisters of the Holy Family) from Sherbrooke, Que., the documentary is a remarkable film in many ways. »
