>  	"Nonfiction doesn't quite describe what Bruno does. Her work takes risks with form to imply that individual suffering and transcendence are but particles in a river of spiritual energy that dwarfs geography and time."
> - The New York Times 2007	  	It's the depth of Bruno's commitment—not to abstract principles of liberal idealism, but to flesh-and-blood people—that creates tension within her films. Her films are windows that open outward, not cases slamming shut.”
