Audience Member great film about a welsh poet, it's very local history for me. beautiful poetry and sad/ironic story Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member cymru am byth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Good story. I like the anti-war message. I wish there was more of the actual poetry in the movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A true story about a poet from North Wales during the first world war. A bit slow but touching and it nearly won the best foreign language film in 1993. Stood the test of time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this when it first came out on video and was impressed. Tracked it down again a few months back and it has stood the test of time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This story is amazing. The way it was portrayed in this film was very moving. It made me appreciate and understand Wales as a people with a great love for the arts, especially poetry. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
