"The best rewards are small and subtle - like a Terrance Odette movie. "      - Katherine Monk - Vancouver Sun

"Thank God there are Filmmakers like Terrance Odette. His no compromise low-budget aesthetics and gnarly compassion for his down-on-their-luck protagonists are qualities that seem endangered these days"  - Ken Eisner - Variety, Georgia Straight
