'"Emma and Daniel" is gripping entertainment for the whole family.' (Nordic Film Days Lübeck 2003

"Emma and Daniel is a film about the greatness of friendship and nature. The director has made a beautiful portrait of how children in grief can react. Ingela Magner does this with passion and involvement." CIFEJ-Jury, Oulu Int. Children's Film Festival 2003

"This exciting family adventure makes good use of its idyllic, natural setting and effectively communicates how first impressions can be deceiving, and of course why it's better not to judge someone until you know them well enough." Justin Johnson, London International Film Festival 2004
