Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: The heart of the film lies in the human factor, how thoughts and feelings are shared through mature, empathetic, and soulful acting. That’s what (Saoirse) Ronan brings to the table, and that is what ultimately makes the film a success.
- [New] | Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: An incredible performance by Saorise Ronan revealing how an alcoholic’s recovery is influenced by a landscape.

- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Adapting Amy Liptrot’s memoir with the author, director Nora Fingscheidt gives us a fractured character study consisting of childhood memories, the more recent London past, the Orkney present and Rona’s interior thoughts arranged in shuffle mode.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: It’s as if Ronan is portraying two different personalities, which she does with deft sincerity… the picture’s lack of bells and whistles makes it feel honest, even when it’s being somewhat manic.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: That third act is probably the slowest, but it’s also the most emotionally resonant. And you can’t go wrong when Ronan is delivering one of her most three-dimensional performances amidst those ebbs and flows.
