"The Silver Hugo goes to a film that presents complex contradictory characters with a light touch. It is surprisingly emotional and celebrates the risks involved in making art, and with great spirit, brings the past to life."
We were impressed by the film's subtle and original approach to its subject matter. It showed strong observational skill in its portrayal of the world, its characters and their relationships, all of which was presented in a strong cinematic style.
"This a rare example of a filmed journey that really was a journey, both physically and emotionally, as it explores the difficult issue of how the present day deals with the past."
