Created specifically as a portrait—as opposed to a biography or documentary—Edelheit's multi-layered work compellingly captures Dienes' unique personality, complex life style, and diverse creative range through the use of a variety of inventive cinematic techniques. In his review at its release, Daryl Chin noted “Dienes' wit, humor, and resilience serves as an appropriate example to women artists in any field; her boundless invention as manifested in her collages and assemblages and constructions is a heartening index.”
