"Martin Duckworth spent decades telling other people's truths. But the former NFB director is actually in front of the camera for some of his most compelling and candid moments in cinema..."
"Dear Audrey is filled with touching moments showing Duckworth's deep love for his wife, who taught photography for 16 years at the Saidye Bronfman Centre in Montreal."
"The scenes in their rambling and sometimes chaotic household are augmented with glorious footage from the '60s and '70s and imaginative black-and-white animation."
"Topping it off is the warm, understated, and authentic original music by Walker Grimshaw. It's presented to just the right degree to reinforce this love story but not so heavy as to overwhelm it or become treacly."
"Anyone who watches Dear Audrey will undoubtedly conclude that Hayes is a masterful filmmaker."
Charlie Smith, The Georgia Straight.
