Reaction: We were obviously hoping the film would break even, but the cast turned out to be a bit expensive and the plot - a small town drama about the closing of a paper mill - isn't exactly an easy one to market to the masses.
"James Morgan's latest script has the feel of a Greek tragedy transplanted to middle of nowhere Canada. The drama is ample and at times over the top, but it all works pretty well." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
"David Harbour, Allison Tolman and William Fichtner stand out in the stellar ensemble cast. They capture the characters and disappear into their roles." - Samuel O'Brien, Sight and Sound
"Teslin, Yukon is a film I haven't seen before. There have been movies about mills closing and characters struggling to figure out their next moves, but Dunn and Morgan's film features unique characters who handle the situation in unique ways." - Janelle Arbor, Vogue
