>  	"Nonfiction doesn't quite describe what Bruno does. Her work  
> takes risks with form to imply that individual suffering and  
> transcendence are but particles in a river of spiritual energy that  
> dwarfs geography and time."
> - The New York Times 2007	 	It's the depth of Bruno's commitment— 
> not to abstract principles of liberal idealism, but to flesh-and- 
> blood people—that creates tension within her films. Her films are  
> windows that open outward, not cases slamming shut.”
> - The Village Voice 2007
