Critic Reviews

Kevin Maher, Times [UK]
An utterly definitive work.
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
It's a disappointment, though watched again now for this rerelease, it doesn't seem as much of a disappointment as all that.
, Sky Movies
There is a lot to admire in this curio of a film.
Thom Hutchinson, Radio Times
A flawed enterprise, partly salvaged by the use of genuine Dublin locations and the marvellous performances of the mainly Irish cast.
Leo Robson, Financial Times
It begins and ends with the word "Yes", and like much of this amiable, affecting and garrulous 1967 film, prompts a similar response from the viewer.
Wally Hammond, Time Out
There's much to appeal in this miniature odyssey, notably the superb black-and-white location work.
