Leave your thoughts about Song of Granite.
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Hilary A WhiteIf accepted, Song of Granite's potency will blindside you. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussThe film's monochromatic images are so beautiful they're almost as soul-nourishing as the transporting vocals and otherworldly reels the soundtrack envelopes us in. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelUses an impressionistic, avant-garde style to capture the essence of Joe Heaney, who is considered Ireland's greatest 20th century singer in the sean nós, "old style." |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonCollins has crafted a mesmerizing modernist memorial to ancient Celtic traditions, even if its determinedly slow pace and diffuse narrative will likely leave some viewers unsatisfied. |
| Irish TimesDonald Clarke... the picture remains proudly awkward, original and surprising throughout. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Katy HayesThe director and co-writer Pat Collins does a superb job with this strange biopic of Joe Heaney, a sean nós singer who became a big name in American folk music. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn enchanting lyrical look at the life of the enigmatic legendary traditional sean nós singer Joe Heaney. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinThe biographical details are of far less interest to Collins than the music, and the film will be a particular delight to lovers of Irish folk music, with its keening textures and melancholic tones. |
| Butaca AnchaRafael Paz... one of the most adventurous explorations in the field of the musical documentary. [Full review in Spanish] |
| IndiewireSteve GreeneFor an artist whose work in a proud and robust tradition carried a recognizable grace, Song of Granite is a stirring, solemn tribute. |
