Audience Member This beautifully crafted film offers up a moving, and often deeply humorous, exploration of a universal question about our musical heritage: should the songs of the past die with the generations who sang them, or is it okay to update them a bit? Turns out that's a fairly contentious question. Aidan Moffat bravely takes this question to the people of Scotland by means of an intimate nationwide tour of his affectionately modernised ballads. Sheila Stewart shines as his most passionate critic as her story is woven into this journey. The result is spellbinding and, on each viewing, has produced tears of laughter and sadness in equal measure. The songs, the people and the places all take star roles in this unmissable film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member What an absolute wee gem of a film. I laughed a lot during this hilarious and often poignant film. It's as much a film about Scottish music as it is about Scotland, its myriad ways of life and how as a nation and as individuals we deal with our past. The music is fantastic, the scenery breath-taking and Aidan Moffat is great as an unlikely filmstar. In time, I think this will be considered an all-time classic of Scottish cinema. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member You're unlikely to see a richer or more real slice of Scottish folk music culture - made even more interesting by Moffat's gleeful emotional brutality. Lots of immediate laughs and more to take home to think on. Should become a cult classic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
