	'An Angel at My Table'
		ane Campion's "An Angel at My Table" is a big, sprawling, unshapely thing, insufferably verbose and, at the same time, touched with magnificence.
		For a good portion of her young life, Frame was almost perversely inert; she participated in her own life but from an apathetic distance, as if she were her own drowsy puppeteer, and for much of the film we're torn between empathy and wanting to slap some sense into her.
		"An Angel at My Table" is rated R for sensuality and language.

	Angel from the Mirror City: Jane Campion's Janet Frame
		In my reading, An Angel At My Table creates a desiring female subjectivity in its particular imaging of the heroine as a woman who sees as much as she is seen, and who, in being seen, does not simply absorb the spectator's look, but, in her agitation, throws it back.
		In An Angel at My Table, the obstacle in Janet's path is not the mother, the path to her subjectivity does not involve conquering or subduing or dominating an object: it involves freeing herself from the debilitating force of socially imposed identities.
		Her attempts to create an identity through more socially interactive means lead to the adoption of disastrous masquerades, principally the masquerade as the mad genius, the schizophrenic, but also the masquerades of the studious woman without appetite, the woman who always wanted to be a schoolteacher, the pure and sexless Janetta.

		The second section, "An Angel at My Table," follows Frame to college, where she is still unable to fit in with her peers.
		"An Angel at My Table" is rated R for sex, nudity, profanity and vulgarity.

	Review - An Angel at My Table
		Splendidly photographed by Stuart Dryburgh and beautifully acted by Kery Fox, "An Angel at My Table" was the second feature from New Zealander Jane Campion, after her stunning debut, "Sweetie," in 1989.
		An admirer of Frame's novels since her school days, Campion builds her film around a heroine who defies Hollywood conventions as a protagonist of the much-debased genre, the artistic biopic.
		Though adapted from three literary volume, "Angels at My Table" is a cinematic experience, which is true to Campion's thematic preoccupations in all of her work.

	An Angel at My Table (1990)
		An Angel at My Table is not only Campion's best film, it's also her most emotionally compelling and accessible, free of the self-consciousness and stylistic tics found in almost all her subsequent films.
		The introverted Frame may have a led an isolated, interior existence (she died in 2004 at age 79), but the arc of her life is rich in color, humor, and tragedy.
		In "My Say: An Interview with Janet Frame," the reclusive novelist comes across as modest, charming, and eloquent in talking about her childhood, where words were revered as "instruments of magic." In Campion's film, Frame's own "instruments of magic" fortunately reach the screen with all their wonder and mystery intact.

	DVD Verdict Review - An Angel At My Table: Criterion Collection
		An administrator discovered that one of Jean's short-story collections had been published, and was the winner of a prestigious award.
		Established now as an author and her own person, she lives alone in a caravan, existing in a kind of nominal no-man's land where everything is calm and creative.
		An Angel at My Table was not a big-budget film, and was actually filmed for New Zealand television on a standard 16mm stock.

	DVDFILE.COM: An Angel at My Table Review
		An Angel at My Table is never an overwhelming experience.
		The Making of An Angel at My Table is a ten-minute featurette that takes the place of a full-blown documentary.
		Director Jane Campion has disappeared as of late, but watching An Angel at My Table will give you a hint as to where we all thought she was headed.

	pullquote: An Angel at My Table
		Anyhow, compounding my general bewilderment at this selection was my overall physical feebleness at the time.
		Which meant the last fucking thing I was prepared to see was an enormous caricature of a woman and a lot of creepy tree-root imagery.
		Angel is just as gorgeous and elliptical and just plain unsettling as Sweetie, but Campion has to color inside the lines more because the story is rooted [there's that word again] in fact.

	An Angel at My Table
		Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table, an eccentric biography of the gifted poet and lifelong, Job-like sufferer Janet Frame, should have been a perfect artistic collision: a willful, visionary film artist capturing the life of a willful, visionary writer from her national past.
		Alexia Keough, representing Frame as an awkward pre-teen, and The Hanging Garden's Kerry Fox, in the grown-up passages, counteract the reticence of the script with impressively physical performances that register both Frame's skittish, fearful relationship to the world and her paradoxical, almost unconscious refusal to be squeezed out of it.
		The final problems with An Angel at My Table, then, is that it strays too far away from the soul of its heroine, whose mind remains unfathomable, and from the strengths of its director, whose visual precocity lacks any support in narrative, characterization, or even a precise theme.

	dOc DVD Review: An Angel at My Table (1989)
		An extremely shy girl, she developed a love of writing at an early age, but her dedication to her calling alienated her from those around her.
		An Angel at My Table is a triumph in independent filmmaking.
		The second act, An Angel at my Table, finds Janet away from home, living with her aunt and uncle while attending classes, still challenged by her introverted nature to the point of mental collapse.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: An Angel at My Table: The Criterion Collection
		An Angel at My Table (1990) was director Jane Campion's second theatrically released feature, and it still ranks as her best work to date, which — considering she's one of only two women ever nominated for a Best Director Oscar (for The Piano) — is saying something.
		Campion's picture, which is itself divided into thirds, follows Frame from her poor rural childhood through a promising literary beginning, a nervous breakdown, psychiatric misdiagnosis, eight years of institutionalization, and, eventually, a measure of personal and professional fulfillment.
		An Angel at My Table is presented in a good anamorphic transfer (1.78:1) supervised by Dryburgh, which is stunning.

		It was a tentative, pleasant start to what has become an almost fortnightly catch-up for a review meal or something similar.
		An early adopter of those new-fangled technologies that allow downloading of television from abroad, it is completely consistent with the man's personality that in addition to reading everything first, he also watches the latest food television before anyone else here.

		Already at an early age she is different than the other kids...
		The film does an excellent job at portraying the character of Frame, and her nervous attitude when brought into social situations.
		Every ounce of shyness is felt off-screen, which is a kudos to the direction of Campion, that plays an important part in making sure that this woman is brought to life, as realistic, and as close to the truth as possible.

		She was an incredibly shy girl with a huge pile of bright red hair atop her brilliant head.
		There are horrific scenes inside an asylum where Janet is sent, even though she appears to suffer nothing worse than strong shyness and a bit of depression.

	Slant Magazine - DVD Review: An Angel at My Table
		An Angel at My Table, named from the volume of Frame's memoirs that recounts her elongated residence in a psychiatric ward, is no doubt a heartfelt tribute to a soft-spoken, melancholic writer from a director who claims to cherish her work as being very important in her own development.
		She's from a poor family, has poor hygiene (later in her teens, she let her teeth rot brown), and when she offers her entire class chewing gum bought with money she stole from her father's woolen pocket, her teacher reveals her thievery to the class who then sneers.
		An Angel at My Table was originally shot in 16mm and then blown up to 35mm for the theatrical release.

		That was an impressive debut that showed Campion as having a very distinctive and original vision.
		This film, "An Angel at my Table", makes it even clearer that Campion is one of the major talents--male or female--working in film today.
		I could go on forever about the things I like about this film but I guess what stands out the most for me is Campion's vivid use of visual language as the vehicle of her narrative; she is strikingly original and right on target emotionally.

		Originally produced as a three-part miniseries for New Zealand television, this extraordinary film is based on the life of Janet Frame, an introverted, sensitive girl who was later misdiagnosed as schizophrenic and spent eight years in a psychiatric hospital.
		An amazing film, which I had seen before viewed on tv in new zealand many years ago and was instantly compelled to add it to my collection once seeing it available on amazon.
		A must view, if you are into a real life drama which gives you an insight to a small world far away in the 1940's, as well as a controversial life.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Review - An Angel at My Table
		This most impolite of directors attacks the most polite of genres in a way that makes it feel like her own creation and pays tribute to her source by bringing it so ferociously to life.
		Criterion's package here includes excerpts from Frame's autobiography, as well as an audio interview with the writer, drawing necessary attention to her bracingly direct style for those (like yours truly) unfamiliar with her books.
		The inevitable comparisons point toward the odd and difficult triangulation of character in storytelling, as Janet Frame struggles to construct a necessarily separate self on paper that Jane Campion and her bewigged young actresses work to embody on film, and through it all, our own private Janet Frames draw closer and closer to us.

		She gets an education as a teacher but since she is considered abnormal she is locked up in a mental institution for eight years.
		Campion's perverse exercise in biographical filmmaking deserves a new title: "My Incomprehensible Career." Janet is played by three actresses: as a child, by Alexia Keogh; as a young teen-ager, by Karen Fergusson; and, as an adult, by Kerry Fox.
		The film is based on three of her memoirs, "To the Is-land", "An Angel at My Table" and "The Envoy from Mirror City".

		With An Angel at My Table, Academy Award—winning filmmaker Jane Campion brings to the screen the harrowing true-life story of Janet Frame, New Zealand’s most distinguished author.
		An Angel at My Table is presented in the filmmaker’s preferred aspect ratio of 1.78:1.
		An Angel at My Table is a frighteningly wrought, personal work that remains simultaneously faithful to Frame’s writing style and life stories (Criterion thoughtfully provides excerpts from the three Frame autobiographies in question) and to Campion’s particular interest in the fragile and complex female psyche.
