In an Italian bronze foundry, the ancient art of casting sculptures in bronze is passed down from master to apprentice.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Viewers with an appetite for the purer variants of slow cinema - think Two Years At Sea and Le Quattro Volte - will find plenty to savour in this patient Italian documentary.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

Austere, meditative, inscrutable, fascinating - Hand Gestures is the kind of documentary that is made all too rarely in this age of spoonfed soundbites and burbling talking heads.

Rated: 4/5

One Room With A View

Long at 77 minutes, Hand Gestures succeeds only in conveying and recreating the laboriousness of the labours it documents.

Rated: 1/5
