AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE — THE CRITERION COLLECTION

Here is a dirty hands biopic with bite.

Jane Campion's rigorous filmic rendition of Janet Frame's picaresque autobiography is a stunner by any measure.

New Zealand's most celebrated author/poet gets a fully voiced telling of a life punctuated by abuse, tragedy, and literary success.

Campion's pitch perfect casting of three actresses to perform different periods of Frame's life, anchors this film in a rare sense of dynamic realism.

"An Angel At My Table" is Jane Campion's finest cinematic achievement.

Groupthink doesn't live here, critical thought does.
