Angel's clear-headedness and unadorned filmmaking makes it all the more powerful.

Campion's knack for solitary yet paradoxically epic scope nibbles off Laura Jones's bite-sized scene-sketches of loneliness and makes entire meals of them.

Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table tells [Janet Frame's] story in a way that I found strangely engrossing from beginning to end. This is not a hyped-up biopic or a soap opera, but simply the record of a life as lived.

Audience Reviews for An Angel at My Table

Aug 20, 2012Fascinating study of oversensitivity as future New Zealand poet laureate endures the slings and arrows of a unpoetic world bent on destroying poetry, or at least ignoring it. Kerry Fox is a round-eyed, trembling terror to behold as a writer mistakenly condemned to the mental ward. This was a television series?!? Excellent work by Campion.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer
