More reviews of Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle
"When is a subtitled film not a foreign language film? When it’s thefirst Gaelic feature to be made specifically for the cinema. And Seachd does indeed look fantastic on the big screen – New Zealand only wishes it looked this good in Lord Of The Rings. Visiting his dying grandfather, Angus (Coll MacDonald) flashes back to his childhood, the death of his parents on a mountaineering trip and the old man’s endless store of rich, mythical folktales. These timeless stories of poisoned lovers, magical flowers and water-horses seem to come out of the misty landscapes of Scotland itself. As Angus makes discoveries, the film continually surprises us with the range of its imagination and a unique structure that owes more to our oral storytelling tradition than Hollywood scriptwriting sessions."
Daily Record
"The stories within the story prove you don’t need megabuck special effects to open eyes to wonder and beauty – especially if you have the good fortune to be shooting on the Isle of Skye"
