Celtic R Not a great movie but it has its charm. It deserves a bit more than three stars. The emphasis on astronomy helps to introduce Chet Raymo's understanding of "religious naturalism" and modern mysticism. Chet Raymo wrote the novel that inspired the movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Hidden gem for sure, a dwarf who tells his memoir about him growing up and publishes his story. Also, combining it with his love for astronomy but also his struggles as an adult dwarf. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This might be not everyone s cup of tea, but I liked it very much. A beautiful poetry of Movie I think. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Not that familiar with Michael Lindsay-Hogg but this is an interesting effort. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The "short" story on this boring Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A fantastic film, love it!!
