      Audience Member A bit of magic about tying flies and fly fishing in Scotland...with Megan, the fly tyer, at the center. Best line...when ask to join the Queen for tea, she turned down the invitation to feed her dog. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Struggles to get to 80 minutes, but the flies are amazing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An intriguing tale which is not only bound to one women's highly skilled work but also explores the ecology behind a natural wonder. Although two hours long an eclectic mix of stunning scenes, fitting soundtrack, and tight story telling, all assist with maintaining the pace which keeps this documentary alive. Absolutely worth a watch, even if you're not an angler, like me, but appreciate animated documentaries. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing documentary about Megan Boyd, one of the world's leading fly tiers. Boyd tied salmon flies in Brora, Scotland for over 50 years, becoming the favored fly tier of Prince Charles and several generations of salmon anglers in the U.K. and around the world. The filmmaker capture's Megan eccentricity and attention to quality and detail in her craft in a beautiful film, featuring both pleasing visuals of Scottish rivers as well as creative animation, all combined with Boyd's compelling life story. A pleasure to watch, both for fly fishermen and non-fishermen alike. Eric Steel captures the beauty of the sport and of the craft of salmon fly tying with numerous interviews with those who knew Megan well. Very well researched and realized--a gem. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Meandering documentary about Megan Boyd, a Scottish fly tyer. Very slow but occasionally atmospheric. And information comes at a drip and drab. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Anna Smith metro.co.uk A wee treasure. Rated: 4/5 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) With its lyrical blend of atmospheric Highland footage and expressionist animation, this is much more than a documentary about the dying art of hand-fashioned fishing hooks. Rated: 4/5 Jan 12, 2014 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Steel uses animation, crispy cinematography and interviews with Boyd's protgs and friends to chart the depths of this one-of-a-kind businesswoman. Rated: 3/5 Jan 10, 2014 Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian Impressionistic animation illustrates the beauty Boyd created...Megan herself comes off as some kind of fabled creature, never seen, but always admired and respected. Rated: 3/5 Jan 28, 2014 Full Review Eddie Harrison The List The lazy structure, lack of narrative drive or visual stimulus quickly reveal the reasons that Boyd's life hasn't been tackled cinematically before. Rated: 2/5 Jan 16, 2014 Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film Deploys talking heads, dreamy animations and lyrical music to trace the arc of Boyd's life and mount a poetic, poignant tribute to the seductive mystique of a rarefied craft. Rated: 4/5 Jan 6, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
