| Film Ireland MagazineLoretta GoffStunning local big-wave destinations Riley's Wave and Aileen's Wave, at the base of the scenic Cliffs of Moher, feature in the film. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallUnlike Aileen's, the film moves at a gentle pace, keyed to the town's seasonal rhythms as Whitaker looks in on the households of the surfers and their families. |
| GuardianCath ClarkeThe big draw here for fans is the phenomenal surfing footage, which captures the brutal beauty of the landscape and surfers gliding through waves so powerful they look as if they could snap a person in half. |

| User ReviewHeidi NJust watched this beautiful film. It's one of those movies that is a window into another place and another way of living. Learned a lot. About the beauty of the place, about the brave and talented Irish surfers who have paved the way for the next generation, about the love of family and the line one has to walk between love of a sport and finding your grounded place in the world. |
