      Audience Member Certainly thoughtful and professional; the debut of an artist not a film student. The character scenes are well delivered. But the visual montages and soundtrack were repetitive and unoriginal, and the storytelling disjointed or absent. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Anton Bitel Sight & Sound it manages to say as much about immigration and assimilation as any more grounded exodus drama, while also serving as a psychedelic city symphony that shows the sights of Lancashire's County Town through thoroughly alien eyes. May 24, 2013 Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue It feels as though this film may find a more accommodating home in a gallery than at a movie theatre; engaging but never quite engrossing, it is definitely an interesting watch.
