- "Pour Thornton le discours orientaliste est justement le discours des axes, de l'hyperbole et de l'absurde. Dans ADYNATA, elle explore la mise en scène de l'orientalisme : un conglomérat de sons et d'images qui connotent l'Orient pour les Occidentaux." Mary Anne Doane.

- 'Adynata' offers a vulgar tour of the Other, in this case Imperial China?, Woman?, Madness?, Japan?, Murder?, Eroticism?. L.T.
'For Thornton, the discourse of Orientalism is precisely a discourse of excess, of hyperbole, of the absurd. In 'Adynata' she investigates the mise-en-scene of Orientalism - the conglomeration of sounds and images which connote the Orient for a Western viewer/auditor.' - Mary Ann Doane, Millenium Film Journal
