Great Film overall
Usamah Harvey
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Derrick Gibbons
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Scarlet
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Enjoyable, simple short (15 min) documentary of photographer Chris Killip showing his photos – taken over a series of years – of the tiny English fishing village of Skinningrove, and recounting the stories of the people behind the images. The film's very simplicity gives it it's power. In a very short time we get insight into a number of things - Killip as an artist, the feel of a town with a dying way of life, the role of the photographer and artist in documenting a changing world. Almereyda has always had an admirable ability to make interesting films about small details instead of huge drama, and he does so again here.Not bad for a 15 minute short!
