Leave your thoughts about Waveriders.
| Little White LiesKezia ClarkIt's an entertaining and thought-provoking take on a sport, and a lifestyle, whose identity and history is increasingly under threat from commercial interests. |
| Film4Richard LuckThe first essential surf movie since Riding Giants. |
| Total FilmJonathan CrockerThe footage of the tiny figures riding these ferocious 50ft monsters goes past awe-inspiring into something almost indefinable. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsRiding Giants covered much of the same ground in 2004 - and did it better. |
| Times (UK)James ChristopherThe sensational footage of surfers barrelling through 50ft waves provides most of the appeal. But Joel Conroy's documentary is full of scrapbook curios. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeySlightly waffly paean to Irish surfing, rescued by the always awesome sight of waves as high as the screen, and consummately skilled, tanned blokes turning them into a canvas. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan Huntera winning combination of personal testimony, history lesson and heart-thumping action footage that chronicles Ireland's contribution to the development of surfing. An impressive insight into a little-known world. |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnHowever much you admire the daring of these young surfers, you soon realise that listening to them yarn on about the sport can become very, very boring. |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansIt's a tall tale that suggests the teller has swallowed the Blarney Stone whole. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonAlthough the action footage is impressive, it becomes repetitive, exposing the rest of the movie as something of a ragbag. Surfing fans may be more enthused. |
