Plot: Through the eyes of a farmer reconnecting with nature, an Irish farming community attempt to save their land.

I usually go into documentaries at film festivals with some ease as the style of story-telling gives you time to relax and just embrace the story. This is due to this genre not really having the option of opening it to interpretation.


So it's all a matter of making the story engaging and constructing in a way of making it cinematic-worthy.


It started off pleasantly with some gorgeous Irish landscape and showing the simple life of this local community.
The tone had a dreamlike quality and that seemed to enhance my enjoyment.


I noticed some sweet family moments and some story developments that showed us the real reason why this got made.
Finding that bit out got me too appreciate the story more and root for our main characters. After becoming aware of that, it became a very satisfying experience.


This managed to be a pretty good watch. They made the most of the County Clare landscape and the overall feel of the film made it quite a dreamy and spiritual experience.


The story and characters were engaging, easy to root for in this true story that I went in knowing nothing about. It certainly made me want to visit Ireland after never having that much of an interest beforehand.
