GIFT BOXES

"Bowling for Columbine, Spellbound, Capturing the Friedmans and Winged Migration have all been unexpected hits.  "OT" deserves a place alongside them."
   - David Ansen, Newsweek

"OT plays like a jazzed-up version of Ulysses' 'Odyssey,' with the cast forced to traverse cultural chasms and scale seemingly insurmountable obstacles."
   - Patrick Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Directed by the Academy Award nominated director of The Garden, Scott Hamilton Kennedy

"Finnish helmer Klaus Haro comes up with an emotionally involving tale that could also resonate beyond the region in specialty situations. Pic is Finland's official submission for the Oscars' foreign film category."
   - Gunnar Rehlin, Variety

Mother of Mine was submitted by its country for the Best Foreign Film category of the Academy Awards�

"The Best Teen Movie Since Donnie Darko."
   - Brian Miller, The Village Voice

"Buttressed by strong performances - particularly newcomer Timmermans in the lead - the film has not an ounce of fat or histrionics. Rarely has so much emotion and excitement been compressed into 90 minutes of screen time."
   - Denis Seguin, Screen Daily

"Strong...A terrific cast!"
   - New York Magazine
