Donald Clarke Irish Times he near mythical quality of the closing images emphasises its place in a great tradition. Rated: 4/5 Oct 17, 2021 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian [A] tough atmospheric drama... Rated: 3/5 Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International This tough little drama/thriller benefits from an unusual setting and a flinty approach. Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media A slight story kept afloat by its performances, this Irish drama does its best to summon the power of the elements to show us how cruel both nature and people can be. Rated: 3/5 Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Jack Hawkins HeyUGuys Arracht is a brooding drama about land, poverty and injustice that offsets its sparse dialogue with elemental camerawork and authentic period detail. Rated: 3/5 Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Aine O'Connor Sunday Independent (Ireland) This is very effective in channelling the suffering that people endured -- not just the hunger, but how hardship, despair and isolation can diminish us.

Avindu G It's a historical drama about a present we are still stuck and live in. Interesting use of special effects flickering through the memories of a mourning father and taking the dark gloominess of the moss covered coast mountains. Splendid use of audio effects setting the atmosphere. Cast put up a remarkable performance with their assignments. It's a quiet story with an intriguing progression and a beautiful conclusion. A tragedy that changed the course of a country's culture is briefed and signalled well with the brief fateful encounter between the landlord and peasant. Monster is a tale of survival that has beauty worth appreciation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
