Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) What begins as just a sumptuous piece of local filmmaking starts to ring with a universal candour. Rated: 5/5 Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Paddy Kehoe RTÉ (Ireland) The Silver Branch is an absorbing, brilliant film that should be honoured everywhere prizes are given, for delving delicately and drinking deep at the well of one man's story, one family's joy and heartbreak. Rated: 4/5 Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Sean O'Rourke Film Ireland Magazine What elevates this film, however, is its extraordinary ability to pair its visuals with Patrick McCormack's narration. Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Ruth McNally Film Ireland Magazine The film was five years in the making by director Katrina Costello and, as with the case taken by McCormack and the Burren Action Group members, it is a testament to patience, determination and love of a place.
