"A haunting that feels like a generational cri de coeur." - MANOHLA DARGIS, THE NEW YORK TIMES

"The greatest revelation of the Giornate (Venice) was The Maiden...far from being just an exercise in style or admiration, it gradually takes on a more ghostly dimension, imbued with a haunting melancholy." - MARCOS UZAL, CAHIERS DU CINEMA

"Best new discovery (Venice): The Maiden by Canadian director Graham Foy, which starts out as a laid-back slacker study but takes a left turn to somewhere eerily dreamlike".
- JONATHAN ROMNEY, THE GUARDIAN
