Leave your thoughts about Rocky Road to Dublin.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe idealistic Peter Lennon, a Paris-based Guardian journalist, films a deeply affectionate look at his homeland on his return home. |
| New York TimesNathan LeeThis 1968 survey of Irish life remains noteworthy for its historical perspective, sardonic tone, lively structure and finely etched black and white cinematography. |
| Time OutDave CalhounLennon's analysis is always lucid but only skims the surface, and Coutard appears more interested in people than politics. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonOdd premise and conclusions but despite Peter Lennon's controversial viewpoint this remains compelling. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteAt times the film is a bit random and rambling, but these vignettes are an invaluable record of life in Ireland during the '60s, with the final images of children running through the streets a symbol of hope for an unfettered future. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonWhat could have been a turning point was instead a footnote of Irish cinema, seen now to be a presciently accurate assessment of Ireland's turbulent national character at a pivotal time of transition. |
| User Reviewkerry nthis movie is one of the best rating 10 definitely does it 4 me |
| User ReviewMatt MA documentary painting a picture of Ireland and what became of it since its 1916 rising. An interesting documentary making important and daring comments, among others, on the grip the Catholic Church had on the country and for which it was initially condemned. Today, it stands as one of the most important early Irish films, able to rise above the non existing Irish film industry. |
| User ReviewTom MTelling and incisive documentary film, exposing what Ireland was like at that time... |
| User ReviewSiôn MCinematography is great - indeed I think it's Raoul Coutard. As the director, Peter Lennon, said: "...what do you do with your revolution once you've got it? The answer is of course you give it back to the bourgeoisie and the clergy"...although not too sure they ever had control of it... |
