 Wow. I watched the film last night with my mother. I really enjoyed it. You've done a great job so well done. Bravo.

 Ahh guys, that’s really lovely. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can’t wait to see it out there so it can find an audience.

 What a treat it was to experience a portrait of someone who meant so much to me, and to relive how much Dede influenced my entire life . I was enchanted once again by someone whose generosity words cannot describe . To view Dede in the context of your film reminded me of all the wonderful times we shared . Working for her was the most amazing treat and without Dede, I probably would have been denied the life that she gave me . So thank you so very much for bringing her back to life. For me it was a fabulous journey.

 It looks great. Verna deserves all that attention. She was wonderful to work with - a real joy and easy. Good luck with your documentary.

 Brill....it's great. A hugely important document to raise an awareness of a cinema legend and perhaps as important ..that the film imparts a real understanding of precisely why she is so revered so widely inside (and I imagine outside) the world of film editing. Congrats! I am super proud to be a part of it.

 I absolutely was fascinated by our working similarities and her excitement and joy that she expresses about her various projects. Vic’s attitude about the fear apprehension one feels before a first cut screening is so very familiar. Your commentary is unobtrusive and shows a complete understanding of the editorial process. Of course the director’s commentaries are exactly what an editor hopes for and shows the team work that makes editing so rewarding. At the end of your various projects I would love to see a compilation of all the editors you will be involved with . My congrats on a delightful way to tell the story of someone who is so familiar without actually knowing them .

 My God, we should be on our knees in gratitude to you, making it so lucid and so riveting - I was watching it like I was an outsider, with all these people I know! Congratulations for your endurance, tenacity, skill. I don't know how you've done it but I'm on my knees with respect and gratitude. I cannot put into words the magnitude of this document.

Editor - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

 Wow, I never realized what a massive undertaking this is, congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment. I don’t think you need your text apology at the beginning of the film, since no one will be aware of any short comings. I of course am most appreciative of your portrait of Dede which is both respectful and loving. It brought back fond memories and many experiences. Thanks so much ,

 I’ve had both the pleasure of watching this hugely enjoyable documentary on the artistry of film editing and the lives of the incredible “Invisible Women”, integral to the success of some the most important films ever made, and knowing the filmmakers behind its creation. I unreservedly recommend all film fans watch it!

 I am Arthur Penn's biographer and have, I believe, Dede's last interview. I am so pleased to see this loving documentary and am impressed at the detail of her craft that you are able to articulate. Arthur loved her.

 This is Incredible work, congratulations... I would be happy to show portions of these in teaching MA Post at Metfilm, and direct students to her links. In post production, I get a high proportion of women in the cohorts, often more than men, and this is important material.
