Eileen M @Eileen321 Jul 4 Gentle Humour, stunning scenery, fabulous sound track (thank you Mark Knopfler) . I re-watch this every year. Looks dated when you start but stay with it- it leaves you feeling joyful and you laugh out loud along the way. See more Joseph B. @jbriskey Apr 11 Great cast but it went nowhere we cared about really slowly. See more Theo C @RT06258744 Feb 10 Overall an absolutely fantastic film for a quiet watch. It's subtle in its setting and its filming, the soundtrack is nothing short of a masterpiece by Mark Knopfler and the acting is well-done and makes the characters feel like "just people". The cinematography is nothing to scoff at either, with certain frames just making you want to scoff at their visual brilliance. The humour is funny and typical of the area. The ending is fantastic, with Mark Knopfler's thunderous "Going Home" putting a brilliant full stop at the end of this film. Overall, an absolute sensation in every second that your eyes and ears are on it. See more Jim P @RT08384096 Dec 22 A magical movie. Watch it more than once for clues to the Meaning of Life and the human need for community. Money isn't everything! See more David B @Bowcoyi Dec 18 Not worth watching, a poor plot line and very slow the humour is okay but that's about it. Burt is more of a cameo showing so don't expect much from him or the movie. See more John S. @talarico Oct 6 I’ve been rewatching around every 5 years and it’s way up on my best-of-ever list. And usually something forgotten or new to appreciate. Like the Ruskie’s capitalist bent, or a young Peter Capaldi debuting & Marina’s mermaid tail revealed at the end. And obviously the soundtrack & Ceilidh music too! See more Read all reviews
