"What both [North of Everything and Canada's Best Features] overwhelmingly convey to me, however, is that new and often more comprehensive arguments about Canadian cinema are being constructed. I think one of the most important developments that these collections register, is that finally critics of Canadian cinema are no longer obliged to erect a unified front on a subject of method of analysis." Jean Bruce, Canadian Journal of Film Studies, Vol. 13, No.2, Autumn, 2004.
