Full Plot Details

Cultpop raconteur Aidan Moffat sets out to explore Scotland's past by rewriting and touring its oldest songs. But he doesn't count on running into 79year old force of nature Sheila Stewart - a travelling balladeer who upturns Moffat's folk assumptions. He believes the old songs are ripe for updating. She does not. With Stewart's wrath ringing in his ears, Moffat embarks on a road trip that finds him dressed for battle in a Highland graveyard, caught between feuding monster hunters at Loch Ness, and singing in a dismissive farmer's kitchen - before facing Stewart in his hometown of Glasgow for an unlikely final showdown, in this funny wee film about music and death.

Movie Reviews

Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey MacnabDirector Fegan has an eye for evocative shots of Scottish landscapes. He also shares Moffat's sense of mischief and his eye for a comic image.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Tom GrieveAidan Moffat is endearing and game throughout, providing the film with a lilting, self-reflective narration.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Adam WoodwardOne of those rare films that makes you sit up and take notice of something you didn't even realise you cared so much about.
The Herald (Scotland) - 8/10 by Alison RowatEvery now and again a film comes out of nowhere and knocks you sideways.
The Arts Desk - 8/10 by David KettleWith its mix of dark melancholy and bawdy humour, its grime and its visual magnificence, Where You're Meant to Be feels like a celebration of the real Scotland, in all its messy, joyful chaos.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Wendy IdeAffectionate, playful and irreverent in spirit.
Total Film - 8/10 by Matt LookerThe real highlight is Moffat's on-stage banter: affable, fun, foul-mouthed.
Sunday Times (UK) - 8/10 by Edward PorterIt warmly records humour, eccentricity, love and bereavement -- and conflict, too.
The List - 8/10 by Brian DonaldsonThis funny, moving and occasionally cringeworthy viewing experience serves both Stewart and Moffat wonderfully well.
Eye for Film - 7/10 by Jennie KermodeSomehow Moffat manages to be endearing even when he's being crass.
