Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

The series of anecdotes is a bit repetitious in places, but you never know what will come next in the film's rich and sometimes eerie collection.

Rated: 4/5

One Room With A View

More heartfelt document of oral artefacts than engaging cinema, Iorram (Boat Song) is valuable in the way it upholds tradition while keeping it safe for years to come.

Rated: 3/5
