ADRIANNE IN THE CASTLE is a fairy-tale documentary exploring grief and the creative power of love, through the astonishing story of Alan and Adrianne St-George and their hand- built castle in rural Illinois.

[I]n keeping the fantasy alive, Walsh seems to honor Adrianne's wishes to forge a magical world of her own. That's what makes “Adrianne & the Castle” feel so very special.

Adrianne & the Castle is not just about an eccentric couple who unapologetically pursued their grandiose dreams to the fullest, but also about the profound grief those pursuits left behind in their wake.

Rated: A-

Alise Chaffins

MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack)

These were two people who loved one another deeply and who built a monument to that love. But as much as it is a love story, it is also about two people who challenged each other to be the most authentic versions of themselves.

Rated: 4.5/5

There's an obvious catharsis in observing someone reflect on their own loss and how they've grieved — but Adrianne & The Castle is an echo chamber born out of privilege and wealth that goads you into projecting upon it.

It’s a truly fascinating story taken to a transcendent level with a wholly original approach to the filmmaking.

Bold and unconventional, but dull and tedious.
