Movie Reviews

Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey MacnabCousins doesn't ignore the bloodshed and sectarian violence (the pub bombings, the killings, the evictions) in the city's recent past but he also has a genius for finding the poetry and humour in everyday street scenes.
The List - 8/10 by Allan HunterCousins has always found awe and wonder in the everyday world around him, but this dreamy love letter is one of his most polished and beguiling efforts.
CineVue - 8/10 by Patrick GambleA refreshingly hopeful depiction of a place habitually represented in cinema as a battleground of sectarian violence.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Sophie Monks KaufmanA complex and heartfelt evocation of a divided city.
The Big Issue - 8/10 by Edward LawrensonThis is an admiring portrait of the city but it's also tinged with sadness.
Film Ireland Magazine - 8/10 by Seán CrossonAt a time when filmmakers have been hesitant to engage with the difficult legacies of Belfast's past, Cousins provides a timely intervention while pointing to a future where all the city's inhabitants could take pride in the spaces... they inhabit.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Rachel BowlesCousins is the kind of thoughtful, gentle and poetic auteur that a city as traumatised and as beautiful as Belfast deserves.
Eye for Film - 7/10 by Jennie KermodeIn his customary style, Cousins makes a lot of points, not all of them hitting home.
HeyUGuys - 6/10 by Steven NeishTechnically wonderful, the loose narrative of I am Belfast shows off Cousins' profound sense of landscape through story.
Times (UK) - 6/10 by Kate MuirA visual meandering through the scarred city which unearths painful history -- and poetry.
