"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
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.”
- The Village Voice
