      Audience Member incredibly charming, funny, trippy, informative, and just fun. the music, of course, is gorgeous. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Who Do You Think You Are, In Welsh, Dressed as a Power Ranger, whist singing songs from his album "Candy Lion". Its interesting, if frequently a bit random, and wasnt sure about the 70's pop culture throughout it. It strikes me as being more a film for himself than for everyone, but still very good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great stuff from Gruff Check out his new album Hotel Shampoo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Mildly amusing but not worth the trouble. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The Welsh in Patagonia - not much more to add to what's already been told is there? Well, this is just about the most enjoyable film I've seen in a long time - informative, funny, brilliant music and odd to boot. Not on wide release, but worth catching on a big screen if you can! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Mike M Segments of Goch's film feel a little rushed and underdeveloped, an issue perhaps to do with trying to combine tour and shooting schedules... Still, as with the White Stripes' leftfield tour feature "Under Great White Northern Lights", this is a case of a musician going off the beaten track and seeking to engage with something wider then their usual circles: the genial Rhys is tremendously good company throughout, and some of his findings - an Argentinian phone book replete with columns of Williamses; communities with names like Gaiman and Dolavon, stocked with tea shops and daffodils; the brothers Leonardo and Alejandro Jones, straight outta Betsw y Coed - are as unexpected and beguilingly odd as anything to be found on your standard SFA album. Goch doesn't stray too far from the remit of a record company promo - Rhys's latest, eminently melodic songs are carefully showcased - but "Separado!" might just also be approached as an enjoyably trippy, shambling episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?". "I was chased by an armadillo," our tourguide confesses at one point, "and I didn't know whether or not it was dangerous." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/25/10 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Andrea Hubert NME (New Musical Express) Separado! is an enjoyable history lesson the way one would have wanted to learn history, but perhaps one best learnt when it finds its way, as it certainly will, to your living room, rather than the big screen. Rated: 3/5 May 19, 2021 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Power Rangers helmet aside, Separado! is an engaging, well made documentary that's both entertaining and informative. Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2010 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman An endearing fusion of the hit genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? and The Man Who Fell to Earth, with Rhys proving an unassuming, entertaining and insightful guide. Rated: 4/5 Aug 16, 2010 Full Review Sophie Ivan Film4 While it would be a stretch to say contemporary British cinema has been crying out for a micro-budget picaresque travelogue from a cult Welsh psych-rocker, it might just be a shade richer for it. Rated: 4/5 Aug 5, 2010 Full Review David Aldridge Radio Times You don't have to be Welsh to appreciate Separado! ... but it helps. Rated: 3/5 Aug 2, 2010 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall It has a certain loping charm, but is too goofy to be very substantial. Rated: 3/5 Jul 29, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
