4/5
Rhys is a droll raconteur who sees the absurdity both in his own quest and that of John Evans before him. Go to Full Review Owen Williams Empire Magazine 05/09/2014

More evidence of Rhys's status as among the daftest, most engaging performers out there. Go to Full Review Craig Williams CineVue 03/21/2019
4/5
It's a deeply serious film masquerading as a ramshackle frolic. Armed with a guitar, a shonky PowerPoint presentation and a puppet, Rhys somehow manages to untangle the myth of the West and the allure of man's utopian ideals. Go to Full Review D.W. Mault The Skinny 05/09/2014
4/5
At once touching, informative and ultimately beautiful. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times 05/09/2014
3/5

03/02/2016 A fascinating story, charmingly told, thoughtfully examined and full of visual and musical highlights. Highly recommended. See more 12/16/2014 Ganador del Festival In-Edit de Barcelona, Ameircan Interior es un documentla protagoniza por Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), quien decide emprender un viaje investigación hacia el interior de Estados Unidos con la idea de reconstruir la historia que hace 200 años escribió su familiar John Evans. Muy interesante, en especial por el humor de Rhys. Recomendable. See more 10/24/2014 A whimsical exploration of myth and language as director Gruff Rhys retraces the steps of his ancestor to map the American interior. Accompanied by a puppet of John Carter on his failed quest to find Welsh Indians, the film is punctuated by songs and quirky graphics mapping the quest. Rhys has done a fantastic job of turning a story of preserving culture, the discussion of which is both supremely important and usually quite dry, into a fantastical, fun musical journey. See more 05/10/2014 Sweet, well made journey and quest to explore John Evans the 18th century Welsh Explorer by gruff Rhys. Funny, personal and beautiful. See more Read all reviews
