“Almost Heaven draws a vibrant, human story out of seemingly average lives that fit with neither the glamour nor the grime of most screen portraits.”

“Carol Salter teases a bubbly and engaging personality out of a seemingly ordinary and mild-mannered adolescent; the filmmaker-cinematographer is ever-ready … to capture the young woman’s emotional ebbs and flows. ”

“Almost Heaven juxtaposes life and death, and it seems as if we’ve almost forgotten that this is also how nature presents life to us.”
Goethe-Institut, China

“A stand-out this year in the Generation section is Carol Salter‘s documentary Almost Heaven.”
