Critical response
[edit]Marc Glassman of Point of View praised the film in particular for finding human emotional angles to her story, writing that "Oana Suteu Khintirian hasn’t just made a film, which ultimately endorses paper and book and libraries. She’s made it about family: a cousin and spiritual sister, who publishes books in Bucharest features prominently as do others who are deeply moved by the historic romantic letters and a scholarly tradition that goes back for generations."[4]
