      Audience Member A fascinating story, charmingly told, thoughtfully examined and full of visual and musical highlights. Highly recommended. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Sweet, well made journey and quest to explore John Evans the 18th century Welsh Explorer by gruff Rhys. Funny, personal and beautiful. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) Rhys is a droll raconteur who sees the absurdity both in his own quest and that of John Evans before him. Rated: 4/5 May 9, 2014 Full Review Owen Williams Empire Magazine A slow-burn delight. Rated: 4/5 May 9, 2014 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian More evidence of Rhys's status as among the daftest, most engaging performers out there. Rated: 3/5 May 8, 2014 Full Review Craig Williams CineVue 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. Rated: 4/5 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review D.W. Mault The Skinny At once touching, informative and ultimately beautiful. Rated: 4/5 May 9, 2014 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Rhys contrasts the fate of spoken Welsh with such dying First American languages as Mandan, and, more soberingly, learns much about the connection between heroic exploration and colonial subjugation.
