    Mesmerizing! Karine Vanasse's performance is incredibly bold.

  1. Nicely acted and inflected, this is a very fresh piece of work.
  2. Propelled by a captivating, wrenching performance by Karine Vanasse as Hanna, a 13-year-old girl adrift in a sea of powerful emotions in Montreal in 1963.
  3. Exquisite and fragile in visuals and tone, yet has some difficulty with a choppy narrative.
