“技巧上令人驚艷無比的成就！—Vincent Canby, New York Times”

　　這是部關於母女愛恨關係的影片，也是一個在「父親注視」之下，母親與女兒掙扎著扮演「好母親」與「好女兒」故事。當我們看著片中人物，就彷彿回味了那些曾經發生在你我身上與母親之間的熟悉情節。直接電影（Direct Cinema）的形式，以及多元混雜表現風格，點出電影鏡頭底下不一定能找到事物的真相，在當年電影甫推出時曾引發許多爭議。有如時光膠囊一般探索女性主義思想、女人拍片、以及媒體再現，值得當代觀眾重新回味。

Daughter Rite is a classic, the missing link between the “direct Cinema” documentaries and the later hybrids that acknowledged truth couldn't always be found in front of a camera lens. Scandalous in its day for bending the rules of representation to enlighten its audience about filmmaking, Daughter Rite has a lot to teach folks hooked on reality TV, too. Citron's documentary inquiries into feminism, women in the trades, and feminist approaches to media representation are time capsules that merit re-opening.
