Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter 01/28/2019
One of those projects that finds a story in a movie history footnote, Sad Hill Unearthed works that story up into a tale of gentle thoughtfulness and emotion. Go to Full Review

4/5
Brims with a life-affirming community spirit - a fitting pay-off for a film that itself was only made possible through the generosity of crowd-funding. Go to Full Review
David Tejero Nogales El antepenúltimo mohicano 10/22/2018
4/5
The director Guillermo de Oliveira always leaves enough space for the heroes of this story to be the members of Sad Hill, or the people who make a pilgrimage to a place that is, I repeat, a time rather than a place. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) 10/19/2018
The documentary abuses the interviews and is dangerously close to reporting, but its group of archeologists of the myth, with its unorthodox cinephilia of pick and shovel, seduces and moves. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

3.5/5
A small, charming documentary, careful but not pretentious. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 20 Real footage in 1 hour and 26 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more renaldo d 04/14/2020 Sad Hill Unearthed is very interesting, several curiosities about the movie "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY", but until now I didn't understand what the band Metallica added in the narrative of this documentary. Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef thanks for presenting this film to the world See more s r @ScottR 07/29/2019 Good to see this documented, but made out to be bigger than it really is. See more 12/27/2018 A very good documentary, especially for fans of the Leone/Morricone/Eastwood westerns. Amazing what people can do when they find a passion. For my taste the film would have benefitted from much less James Hetfield, who seemed to think that the documentary was about him and his band. Other than that it holds together well and was well worth the watch. See more Read all reviews
