Critics reviews

Cinema is wily because of what's left out: director, camera and sound crew are quieter here even than Eoghan, in every empty room or clearing or col. The deep pull of this film is orchestrated deeply artfully – and yet, in its pared-down way, it's also scrupulous about reminding us about the technological play at work.

Two points of reference here are James Benning's films comprised of durational, master-shot landscape photography, and, yes, John Cage's '4'33"', both of which teach that art never offers itself as a void. Inevitably, we the audience fill it in ourselves.
