      isla s This is very much an arty film - its so sort of quirky and abstract that I'm not sure I fully followed it. I like that the main character has a real passion for theatre and is doing a good thing, challenging expectations at a societal level via art and creative expressionism. It's not an especially gripping film, though it does have a mildly sinister tone at times but it does also have some heart to it and I liked some of the dialogue and scenes, so I'd give this a middling rate. However I wouldn't especially recommend it per se, no but perhaps if it sounds like just your kind of thing then you might want to seek it out - I'll leave that for you to decide. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Peter Bradshaw Guardian An intriguing and subversive docu-type drama about the nature of creativity and how modern-day equivalents of the avant gardist Antonin Artaud might expect to be treated. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Carmen Paddock TAKE ONE Magazine Gritt fluidly expresses her desire to connect with reality – or at least what she thinks others perceive as reality – but a fundamental mismatch is apparent in every unmet gaze and closed funding avenue Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An intense and challenging character study that suspends judgement on the flawed main character--a failed artist. Rated: B- Jan 18, 2022 Full Review Neil Young Screen International Gritt's unremitting, uncompromising qualities work to the picture's considerable advantage. Feb 5, 2021 Full Review John Bleasdale CineVue Although the film changes direction and tone with a flightiness fitting to its protagonist, Guttormsen's Gritt knows where it is going and ultimately gets there.
