Kevin Maher Times (UK) [M]ostly this is swooping cameras, rousing soundtrack score, and the fist pump of pleasure. Rated: 4/5 Sep 28, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is heartfelt, but its periodic attempts at thriller-style bouts of excitement are redundant, and I wondered sometimes if the film-makers were sure what exactly their story was. Rated: 2/5 Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) An impressive film. Rated: 4/5 Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Julia Swift My Champlain Valley This international political environmental thriller will have you telling everyone to be quiet so you can see and hear every moment. After it ends you want to talk about it with everyone and convince them to watch it. Now. Go watch it now! Rated: 10 Nov 17, 2019 Full Review Nikki Baughan The List Sea of Shadows makes clear the devastating impact of man's desire to ride roughshod over nature, and the strength and bravery of those determined to redress the balance, for the sake of us all. Rated: 4/5 Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia Does a great job of highlighting the corruption of the authorities and the bravery of those people who put their lives on the line to save a species and thwart a multi-million dollar industry.
