5.0 out of 5 stars Buy! Buy! Buy!, 6 Dec 2007
I would highly recommend this DVD! And I certainly shall be personally recommending it to my friends and family hear and abroad! it was with excited anticipation, that I have just pre-ordered it on Amazon! It is not out until February/march 2008, but it will be well worth the wait! But also go and see it in the cinema if you can. There is nothing quite like the Cinema-Experience of a cinema-made movie!

I went to see 'Seachd, the Inaccessible Pinacle' tonight, down here in London, and was really impressed. It is a marvel: a truly beautiful film set in the Scottish Highlands: you will laugh, you will cry, you will be moved in may different ways, you will be intrigued, and as the story within the stories is revealed, you will be amazed at that revelation.

This movie is in Scottish Gaelic with English Subtitles, but do not let that detract you if you are not a speaker of the Gaelic: I am just starting, and my son does not, nor did many people there tonight, and it did not spoil it for us by any manner of means!

Superlatives do not suffice! The photography is superb - there is no CGI here, and the movie is all the better for that- here you have true photography! The script is so skilfully and subtly written. The many-layered plot weaves the magic art of the ancient storytellers. The music is at times rousing, at times haunting, but always adding to the atmospheric ambience. And the acting? ... it is to behold ... and the actors?... they the true weavers of this delightful yet profound film, particularly the two main actors, `Padruig-the-young' and `Padruig-the-elder' (A true bard, if ever there was!), who both carried a very heavy load! And the Direction? Well watch out Richard! And the Producer, responsible for raising funding, hiring key personnel, and arranging for distributors? A task well done! I hope that you will make sure that distribution goes out to our communities abroad! And the Gaelic community? Uill, without you it could not have happened!

We were told that this movie was made on a low budget, but you would not know it, and I think it might well be because, for what they might have lacked in money, they more than made up for with the richness of the heart, and the warmth and co-operation of the local Scottish Gaelic community.

A heartfelt thanks to all concerned in the making, and the sponsoring, of `Seachd' - Mòran taing! (Many thanks!) - and to Amazon for making the forthcoming DVD available to the wider nation!

From the Gaels to the World! From the World to the Gaels!

5.0 out of 5 stars Glè mhath - A better film than it will ever get credit for, 29 Jan 2008
By Mr. R. Forbes "Rick Forbes" (Northampton, Northants England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was lucky enough to see this in Nottingham on Sat 26/1/08 and it was well worth the 80 mile drive.

Some of the budget restrictions can be seen e.g. the footage of the horse race is limited because filming was mostly rained off on the planned day but given the constraints the makers had to work with it's a great film with a gripping story jumping between lore and real life.

The scenery is spectacular and real and the subtitled Gàidhlig and Spanish was no problem either to me (a little Gàidhlig) or my girlfriend.

Definitely worth watching. I've already pre-ordered it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good movie and a very promising debut by the director., 28 Feb 2008
Overall a decent movie and a good one if viewed as a childrens film. The cinematography is often excellent and some of the scenes captured in film are absolutely stunning - the director, Simon Miller, obviously has a natural talent. The story is interesting although certain bits could do with expansion. Overall the film felt maybe 10-20 minutes too short and a bit more background on Aonghas' parents and their death would have given the movie a more rounded feel. The acting is always competent, and often good, with a couple of very memorable cameo appearances by Vidal Sancho and Charles Quinnell sticking in the memory. The soundtrack is excellent and very well judged and assuming that it is released in its own right it will surely be quite popular. Overall the film is good by any standard (not just in a "it's a minority language thing so we can't say anything else" way) and hopefully the first of many we can look forward to from Miller. Oh also worth noting is the fact that the DVD contains subtitles in Irish, as well as Scottish, Gaelic as well as Welsh which is a nice little show of Celtic language solidarity.
