A strong, simple human story economically told with minimal dialogue and breathtaking cinematography. The film casts an inexorable spell and is always moving, right up until the shocking finale… Kapadia doesn’t put a foot wrong.
PREMIERE

This is reassuring proof that (Kapadia) has not sold out…visual and aural craftsmanship, a tendency to let the landscape do most of the talking, and a parable-like quality that is apparent from the outset…committed realism and fantastical narrative

A dazzlingly effective folk tale set against a timeless, unforgiving landscape…with breathtaking cinematography from Roman Osin, this tragic tale casts a hauntingly affective spell
TIME OUT

A magnificent thriller
THE TIMES

The shock ending establishes Kapadia as one of our most interesting story-tellers
THE GUARDIAN

A frequently exhilarating work that offers a relatively rare glimpse into a world and a way of life rarely depicted on screen….crisp and intellegent, Kapadia builds from a simple premise to an unforgettable conclusion…a brilliantly composed and distinctly otherworldly return to form from one of Britain’s brightest talents
