The people of Port Talbot battle authoritarian forces and a merciless corporation that are depleting the town of its resources.

[McKean] keeps things visually interesting and exciting, overlaying images and using the occasional separately filmed segment.

Rated: 3/5

There is a raw, primitive response to Christ in this film, despite all its community theatre window-dressing. I loved its spirit of a fanfare.

Rated: 4/5

The closest you will get to feeling like you have run a marathon, without running a marathon. Once is enough.

McKean's film deserves to be watched if only to marvel at the performance of Sheen and the epic scale of the production which gave birth to this misguided collaboration of theatre and cinema.

Rated: 3/5

Not theatre, not a documentary, and not a regular film, but a powerful hybrid.
