Leave your thoughts about Separado!.
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessAn endearing fusion of the hit genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? and The Man Who Fell to Earth, with Rhys proving an unassuming, entertaining and insightful guide. |
| Film4Sophie IvanWhile it would be a stretch to say contemporary British cinema has been crying out for a micro-budget picaresque travelogue from a cult Welsh psych-rocker, it might just be a shade richer for it. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerPower Rangers helmet aside, Separado! is an engaging, well made documentary that's both entertaining and informative. |
| Radio TimesDavid AldridgeYou don't have to be Welsh to appreciate Separado! ... but it helps. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineIt has a certain loping charm, but is too goofy to be very substantial. |
| User ReviewTucker Wincredibly charming, funny, trippy, informative, and just fun. the music, of course, is gorgeous. |
| User ReviewTerry CThe Welsh in Patagonia - not much more to add to what's already been told is there? Well, this is just about the most enjoyable film I've seen in a long time - informative, funny, brilliant music and odd to boot. Not on wide release, but worth catching on a big screen if you can! |
| User ReviewDaniel BGreat stuff from Gruff Check out his new album Hotel Shampoo |
| User ReviewMike MSegments of Goch's film feel a little rushed and underdeveloped, an issue perhaps to do with trying to combine tour and shooting schedules... Still, as with the White Stripes' leftfield tour feature "Under Great White Northern Lights", this is a case of a musician going off the beaten track and seeking to engage with something wider then their usual circles: the genial Rhys is tremendously good company throughout, and some of his findings - an Argentinian phone book replete with columns of Williamses; communities with names like Gaiman and Dolavon, stocked with tea shops and daffodils; the brothers Leonardo and Alejandro Jones, straight outta Betsw y Coed - are as unexpected and beguilingly odd as anything to be found on your standard SFA album. Goch doesn't stray too far from the remit of a record company promo - Rhys's latest, eminently melodic songs are carefully showcased - but "Separado!" might just also be approached as an enjoyably trippy, shambling episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?". "I was chased by an armadillo," our tourguide confesses at one point, "and I didn't know whether or not it was dangerous." |
| User ReviewGareth MWho Do You Think You Are, In Welsh, Dressed as a Power Ranger, whist singing songs from his album "Candy Lion". Its interesting, if frequently a bit random, and wasnt sure about the 70's pop culture throughout it. It strikes me as being more a film for himself than for everyone, but still very good. |
