Leave your thoughts about Man of Aran.
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickA spellbinding look at an extreme way of life. |
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneFlaherty made Man of Aran less a window into Aran life in the 20th Century than his interpretation of a state of rugged grace that romantic writers such as W.B. Yeats and William Synge projected onto the 19th Century. |
| Total FilmPhilip KempA classic 1934 documentary from Robert Flaherty, pioneering forefather of the genre (see 1922's Nanook Of The North). |
| Apollo GuideJamie GilliesNot a great film because filmmaker Robert Flaherty does not seem to understand fiction. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceThe film is a canny blend of observation and creation. |
| Film4Film4 StaffThe realism of the film is outstanding, the images are stunning and decades later it's a film that stands as a powerful classic of its kind. |
| Sight and SoundPaul RothaThere are moments in the film which are among the greatest things that cinema can show, which means at the least that they provide both a mental and a physical experience which is unforgettable. |
| GuardianAndrew PulverFlaherty's sense of poetic grandeur never lets up. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonSadly, this trenchant tribute to heroic fortitude will always be remembered more for its artifice than its artistry. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThis film deserves appreciation and support more for its intention than for its achievement. |
