It is good that Curnow allowed a film-maker as deft and careful as [Shirley] Horrocks to finally tell us about him ... While a raft of fellow poets has lined up to praise and explain, Horrocks has mostly chosen to let her subject, through his words, memories and presence, acquaint us with who he was and what he means.– Greg Dixon in The NZ Herald, 4 October 2001
