I watched Voyageuse again last night––such an exquisite piece of work, the story of the 20th century refracted through the eyes of an ordinary, extraordinary woman.

Watching the end credits of @amyadrion‘s @halfthepicture, it struck me that there was someone missing from the montage of photographs celebrating women directors – @MayMilesThomas. Voyageuse is a gem and to anyone with an interest in cinema needs to encounter it!

What an achievement by director/writer/cinematographer/editor, May. Voyageuse is visually and aurally arresting and beautiful. A real woman’s multi-layered story brought into the light, with spellbinding narration by the mighty Sian Phillips. I learned lots and also shed a tear. https://t.co/SoQkCSFTVL

Just finished watching May Miles Thomas’s beautiful and mesmerising reconstruction of a woman’s life from the letters, objects – and memories – she left behind. A wonderful achievement by one of the most interesting film makers around.https://t.co/YWSLhxX8Zw

Watched last night and blown away. My father left Germany/Europe as child in 1938. My mother also left academic career for mothering in same era. Could see traces of both stories. Curious about DC for next

Watched and loved, May. Beautifully detailed, l loved the little Cold War references, like the Lincolnshire Poacher tune.
— Craig Brown (@sloan1874) March 4, 2018
@VoyageuseFilm @MayMilesThomas you know the moment when a truly great piece of music keeps revealing itself? This film does that- watched it maybe 6 times & every time I see something new. A treasure I’ll keep close to me for a long time. Incredible photography & writing.
— martin ogg (@mogg1973) March 3, 2018
Definitely a film to watch more than once, treasure trove was what I kept thinking, a museum of someone’s life, you want to go back and look/listen again. And the writing is great, words that stay with you. (I have no idea when I stopped using lipstick.)

@MayMilesThomas just finished watching your wonderful film ‘Voyageuse’. It was incredibly moving.I loved the way you showed restraint, which left the viewer impressed with an even greater sense of human vulnerability, and not only hers. She would in no doubt have felt proud.

Saw @MayMilesThomas’s Voyageuse last night – so beautiful. A woman’s 20thC life story, combining love, science, grief, Edinburgh, Oxbridge & the most exquisite framing/montage/archive. I cannot recommend it highly enough. & if YOU want 2 see it, ask here: https://t.co/LrDMbmbnde

‘Mesmerizing’ often used to describe an outstanding cinematic experience. & @VoyageuseFilm is exactly that, yet anything but a cliche. You’ll have seen very little like it. Watch it online here https://t.co/Ig2fbktBmu

Saw this last night, it is enchanting, captivating and completely absorbing; a beautiful homage to a remarkable life. Also a benchmark example of what is possible for a non-funded independent film-maker. Well worth watching. https://t.co/GxZlG6owZ5

Thank you, May, for the chance to watch your film online. I loved the layers of narrative you constructed, the arresting stills/images &many gorgeous details (I looked up Bengalese finches) – and ultimately, of course, the portrayal of Erica. Very moving, and much to think about.
