3.5
Edited to a taut, busy 92 minutes, the film works itself into a symphony of niggling submelodies: blood, religion, familial abuse. Go to Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jul 24
3/5
While An Taibhse ebbs and flows in its narrative and sometimes fails to hit the mark in terms of its ghostly plot, where it excels is its meditation on family trauma that offers a devastating level to the haunted home. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN Apr 10
4/5

4/5

4/5
