This relaxed, tune-filled documentary captures a group of Jamaican reggae legends, Ken Boothe, Winston McAnuff, and Cedric Myton.

Mike McCahill

Guardian

It's one of those docs that wins you over with its spirit: the collected histories reframe the music as one of resistance, resilience, survival, and the tried-and-tested beats pulsing through the cinema sound-system can't help but back them up.

Rated: 4/5

Webber feels less interested in the wider narrative than he is in the microcosmic lives of his subjects, but there is untold drama in their stories, and the music is a cause for celebration.

Empire Magazine

Inna De Yard, while not always incisive, is soulful and uplifting in its exploration of the hearts behind the music Webber clearly loves - a feeling compounded by its charming subjects.

Rated: 4/5

But taking nothing away from Webber's directorial efforts, Inna de Yard serves a joyous occasion in reflecting a culture not necessarily highlighted enough and a musical generation of artists that we owe a great debt to.

Rated: 4/5

Ultimately, the movie is solid but it won't be considered a classic.

Flickering Myth

The personal tales Inna de Yard chooses to tell, the tonal fluctuations echo the film's unrefined focus, as well as neatly mirroring the highs and lows of life
