Song of Granite Ratings & Reviews
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Using an impressionistic, avant-garde style...its beauty and heartbreaking sense of lost connection to the past expresses much more than the usual corny sentimentalism.
IndieWire
Steve Greene
For an artist whose work in a proud and robust tradition carried a recognizable grace, Song of Granite is a stirring, solemn tribute.
FF2 Media
Brigid Presecky
Song of Granite is a unique portrait of a man's life; breathtakingly cinematic in black and white film.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An enchanting lyrical look at the life of the enigmatic legendary traditional sean nós singer Joe Heaney.
Slant Magazine
Mark Matousek
Director Pat Collins's approach to visual composition is more interesting in theory than practice.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
I admired Song of Granite much more than I 'enjoyed' it.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
More than the story of an individual, the film is a stirring tribute to endangered folk traditions.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
If Andrei Tarkovsky had grown up in rural Ireland, he might have made a biographical cine-memoir as luminously beautiful as Song of Granite.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
This patient and luminous life-of-the-artist film freshens everything stale about its genre.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Mr. Collins doesn't shed light on what makes his subject tick, and the arty shards never cohere.
Variety
Guy Lodge
There's a unifying purpose to this seemingly scattered approach, underlining the essential unknowability of a retiring figure who left principally his art as evidence of a jagged, unstable life.
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
The film's monochromatic images are so beautiful they're almost as soul-nourishing as the transporting vocals and otherworldly reels the soundtrack envelopes us in.
Culture Trip
Graham Fuller
Song of Granite was filmed in black and white by Richard Kendrick and is staggeringly beautiful.
AwardsCircuit.com
Shane Slater
Song of Granite ... begins to outstay its welcome. But until then, it's an undeniable beauty.
Film Journal International
Budd Wilkins
Pat Collins' film about the life and career of Irish folk singer Joe Heaney is oblique to the point of inscrutability.
