      Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard It's all quite wonderfully nutty in a thoroughly British way or a bit of a bore, depending on your disposition. Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2012 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) The way Ktting and Sinclair wrestle their craft, nicknamed Edith, over muddy embankments and bicker as they splosh along loamy waterways makes Swandown feel like Fitzcarraldo on a You've Been Framed budget. Rated: 4/5 Jul 19, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is a bit of a vanity project: but the sight of these two guys and their great big swan is surreal and funny. Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2012 Full Review Daniel Green CineVue Fans of Kötting will surely lap this up, whilst newcomers to his oeuvre may just come away pleasantly surprised. Rated: 3/5 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Gail Tolley The List It all comes together in a charming and idiosyncratic way to create a rich and often funny snapshot of local identity. Rated: 4/5 Aug 14, 2012 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) A constantly beguiling movie with an underlying touch of bitterness, especially towards the end.

      ian t Basically a 90minute artsy montage that looks like its been done by a 12 year old. Childish, pretentious absolute BOLLOX.
