« Is this [La raison avant la passion] a good film? Or interesting? Miss Wieland calls it a 'corrective' film, a passive accumulation of images. For anyone who's bored by the topography of the wilderness, its potential as a bank for images [...], and who is interested in the speculations of Mr. Trudeau in the political arena, it most certainly will be dull. But for anyone whose sense of Canada comes from the land itself, the film will be a welcome relief from the divisive effects of media politics. »
