Stephen Hook, a British dairy farmer, sells organic raw milk and maintains a close bond with his small herd of cows.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

It's a peculiarly moving and, somehow, emotionally satisfying portrait of a compassionate, decent man who loves his animals.

Fewer folks would be troubled by milk consumption if they thought that all dairy producers behaved like this one. But The Moo Man is no kewpie cuddle-fest, either.

Bachelier and Heathcote's The Moo Man may not initially seem like much by the standards of today's genre-defying documentaries, but it is an eloquent and considered portrait of rustic endeavour.

Rated: 4/5

Scotsman

A film about one man's fight against the supermarket culture shouldn't be this touching, but Hook's devotion to his bovine brood is captivating.

Rated: 4/5

David Parkinson

Radio Times

Cogent but restrained in its politicking, The Moo Man contains plenty of wit, wisdom and compassion, as well as much bucolic charm.

Rated: 4/5

Insightful look into dairy farming and the everyday struggles involved in creating a bottle of milk. It's a strangely alluring documentary.
