      Tara Brady Irish Times O Héalai is remarkable in the central role, which couldnt be further from his fierce, determined turn in last years Arracht. A genuine Irish-language movie star is born. Rated: 4/5 Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Phil Hoad Guardian Ó Héalai fills the main character with a squirming, unabashed lust for life. Rated: 3/5 Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Richard Kuipers Variety Though easier to admire than enjoy, "Shelter" has many fine attributes, and it will be interesting to monitor Breathnach's progress from here. Nov 8, 2021 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) It will highlight to all comers that Irish-language cinema is an independently spirited presence on the western edge of European filmmaking, one that makes great use of its remote environs and the stories they can play host to. Rated: 4/5 Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Kimberly Reyes Film Ireland Magazine Beyond being a movie that is deeply tied to the land and is told in the Irish language, Foscadh speaks to some of the underlying issues of the island. Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Siún Ní Dhuinn RTÉ (Ireland) An insightful, powerful look at a man on the margins. Rated: 4/5 Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
