    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I saw this film at the Edinburgh International Film festival last summer where it won the audience prize for best film in the festival. I don't normally watch animation but I went on a friend's recommendation. I am so glad I had the chance to see it as it does not have a UK release yet. It is impossible to say anything descriptive in words that would do the film justice. I would recommend it to all.

  • Great animation but slow plot

    Rated - 2.5 stars

    Not much happens in this movie. I won't publish any spoilers here but when you get to the end of the film you realise not much has occured. The pace of the film is slow - I slept through parts of it on my first couple of attempts However the animation is at times beautiful and although there is a bit of disney style schmaltziness there isn't too much.

  • Blew their minds

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    Beautiful, enchanting, mesmerising, bewitching. The kids watched it again and again and then insisted I buy a copy to keep. Since watching it, they keep talking about it, about art, celtic design, monasteries, forests, magic and folklore. It blew their minds, and made me a very happy parent indeed.

  • A secret gem

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By RJNeb2 (923 reviews) from London , 03 Feb 2012
    A left-field surprise Oscar nominee in the Best Animated Feature category, the first few frames confirm why this was a sound choice. Inspired by the Book of Kells, the film is jaw-droppingly beautiful to behold, a riot of intoxicating colour and stylized design. Narratively, it’s slight in its fanciful telling of how the famous book came to be but it’s an absolute charmer.
