Daily Telegraph (UK)

Prince of Muck is a very slow, very moving character study that documents the inevitable erosion of the old ways in a fast-moving, ever changing world.

Rated: 5/5

Little White Lies

Although light on tension, this is an accomplished and atmospheric portrait of island life.

Amber Wilkinson

Eye for Film

Sadness lurks at the edge of the film, not just the grief of family loss but of a passing era that Lawrence is unwilling to let go.

Rated: 4/5

Scotsman

Makes good use of Lawrence's matter-of-fact diary entries to tease out a moving story about loss, sacrifice and the difficulty of island life.

Rated: 3/5

The Skinny

Cindy Jansen's mostly static camera captures her subject - both the man and his land - in painterly compositions worthy of Caspar David Friedrich.

Rated: 4/5
