Cristian Mungiu despre Ioana Uricaru:
„O cunosc pe Ioana din 1994, când am început amândoi şcoala de film în Bucureşti. Am scris împreună un scenariu, care ne-a adus prima călătorie profesională la Los Angeles, în 2000. Am tras două concluzii din asta: eu m-am întors şi am continuat ca cineast în România, Ioana s-a mutat în SUA, a absolvit USC şi şi-a luat doctoratul în cinema. În ciuda distanţei, conversaţiile noastre despre cinematografie au rămas la fel de vii ca acum 20 de ani”. (mobrafilms.ro)
