Matthew St. Clair AwardsWatch As much as it has a less focused narrative scope than their last film, At the Place of Ghosts still proves Bretten Hannam to be a skilled storyteller and a filmmaker to continue keeping an eye on. Rated: B Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The film has beautiful cinematography that makes the most of its outdoor setting, but the real fresh air comes from an adventurous approach to depicting memory, both getting in the brothers’ way as well as occasionally smoothing their path forward. Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting A film more interested in the journey than the destination, At The Place of Ghosts may frustrate audiences who are eager for answers and a straightforward story, but will reward patient viewers who are content to sink into the luscious visuals. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Louis Roberts Loud and Clear Reviews In step with the traditional storytelling ethos of many First Nations communities, At the Place of Ghosts (Sk+te’kmujue’katik) shines when its focus is on the journey, not the destination. Rated: 4/5 Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Monita Roy Mohan Stereo Geeks (Podcast) This is an epic quest, it’s a tragic life story, it’s about brotherly love, and it’s a ghost story set against a backdrop of childhood trauma... The story is specifically told by a M’ikmaq person, and that really makes this storytelling experience unique. Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? To go back and confront what they did is to finally dare to speak their respective truths removed from the ingrained fear of childhood. It's ultimately time they each forgave themselves. Rated: 9/10 Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
