An impressive oddity that deserves its renown. Go to Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian 04/25/2019
3/5
With admirable economy the Tohills and screenwriter Stuart Drennan establish a stand-off between men in small, dark holes who have sublimated all feeling into obsessive, possibly futile activity. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety 09/27/2018
There's a whole lot of digging, but not much suspense or interest dug up in "The Dig." Go to Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper 02/28/2020
Although the high melodrama ultimately betrays the deliberate middle section, this is a film that takes themes of redemption and forgiveness seriously. Go to Full Review Roe McDermott Hot Press 05/01/2019
The poetic potential and emotional complexity get lost - but it's still an intriguing idea, marking an auspicious start to the Tohill brothers' career. Go to Full Review Jemma Strain Film Ireland Magazine 04/30/2019

CHRIS M 09/01/2024 Intense. And interesting premise taken from the "Troubles" in Northen Ireland except modified to be non-sectarian. Plot makes senses and there is valid exploration of effects of violent crime on families of the victim. The end sucks though, no other way to put it. See more mark d 09/25/2021 Slow moving, but moving nonetheless. A dark tale featuring great acting. As bleak as you'd expect, considering the plot. Worth a watch for sure. See more 05/19/2021 Excellent movie. A brilliant cast of great actors/actresses See more 02/02/2021 Powerful yet understated, beautifully shot and acted. Also very interesting period peace of pre-war England. Thoroughly enjoyed. See more Bill 01/31/2021 Your review will help others decide whether to watch.
