Nikki Baughan Screen International Oct 13
Writer/director Hannam imbues their low-key chiller with enough cultural specificity to give it a voice in a crowded field, and it is further buoyed by unhurried pacing and strong performances. Go to Full Review Matthew St. Clair AwardsWatch Sep 30

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. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Sep 17
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.

3/5
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.

4/5
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. Go to Full Review Monita Roy Mohan Stereo Geeks (Podcast) Sep 14
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
