Alex Dudok de Wit Sight & Sound This is a bold and unusual film, which takes material that will be unfamiliar to most viewers and interprets it with more inventiveness than they will be used to. Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) This superb Irish animation from the director of 2009's The Secret of Kells is a treat; an enchanting and very moving "family film". Rated: 5/5 Jul 12, 2015 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times It seems unlikely that a more beautiful film will be released this year. Rated: 4/5 Jul 12, 2015 Full Review Michael J. Casey Boulder Weekly Based on Irish folklore and soaked with mythic iconography, "Song of the Sea" confronts loss and sorrow head-on. Rated: 4/5 Dec 13, 2020 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Prettily animated family adventure infused with Irish folklore and traditional Celtic design makes for a change of pace from slick Hollywood cartoons. Oct 25, 2020 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine This is an outstanding work: well animated, well designed, well told. Rated: 9/10 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
