"Catherine's Room is shot in real time. But the woman performs her tasks with such slow care that each screen, at any given moment, appears to be almost static. Through the window, the light shifts drowsily from morning blue to purple twilight, measuring her brief life in the sun. This is a masterpiece in miniature, compressing the richness of art, of religion, of contemplative philosophy into the short fraction of an hour." (uit: 'A Rembrandt for the video age', The Guardian)
