Michelle Citron's film DAUGHTER RITE shows two kinds of relationships: one between a daughter and her mother, and one between two sisters. [...] The rich variation of forms clearly includes narrative, documentary, and experimental elements, though it is all carefully shifted to allow something new and exciting to emerge. [...] The result is an utterly engaging and enjoyable film, stunning in its imagery, that grips us because of its subject matter – which, as M. Citron stresses, "was very meaningful in my own life and has become equally important for the feminist movement". (Jane Clarke and Helen MacKintosh, 1979)
