Celtics

A Druid heathen telling of history of the Ireland Celtics, which is sure to upset many in the current establishment. I watched this with my family, we loved it. What we found most interesting is seeing the parallel of the Celtic people under the Roman Empire occuption as so similar to our own era of a global empire occupation, the same slave wages and censorship.

Cinematography is breathtakingly close to the actors, really drawing us in to their emotions. We all loved the bits of true Gaelic and Welsh language here and there and appreciated the subtitles. It was the first time my sons and daughter had seen Gaelic, much less Welsh in a film production. It was wonderful to see. Location in a tall forest was perfect for Celtic Druids secretly meeting.

Actors were extraordinary, powerful, gifted. They are the up and coming actors to look out for. Watch for them.

Loved it. Great Welsh and Irish speakers, clear and succinct. Acting and camera work were outstanding. Very unusual stories, yet had a weird connection to our times as well. I wasn't expecting a large blockbuster and was looking for a small independent film. Was I in for a surprise, extremely powerful acting and close camera work drew me in, without overwhelming me with wide set-pieces where it feels like everything has been thrown at the screen and every inch of every frame has been filled with movement wherever possible. I'd imagine everyone with a brain will enjoy this indie film. I was hoping to see some dwarfs though. But you'll love the tall pointy Druid wizard hats! See at all costs.

Surely the worst scripted, worst directed, worst filmed worst misplaced accents worst over acted piece of crud ever to be made. Pregnant ... pauses... in... delivery, and over emoting abounds. Historically inaccurate, and truly beyond awful. On Twitter, archaeologists all over the world were being blocked en masse for daring to point out how terrible this was. The maker was appealing for funding, and some of the claims over this series just creased us up with laughter, as do clips and actual film. I feel so sorry for any actor having this on their CV. If you are a naive American with no grasp of archaeology, time or place you might be attracted to it, but it is as stodgy as a bowl of cold porridge.

Brilliant Acting and an original story. As a native Irish speaker, the few lines that were in Irish were fine. We have regional variations in Irish, there is no correct way. Actors did a great job with their Irish lines.

As other reviews have noted, this is not a huge expensive movie with a cast of hundreds and large sets, so don't expect that. The focus is on the acting and the story.

My wife and I, we're both pagans, enjoyed the alternative take on these Celtic gods brought to life on the screen. We hadn't seen such an original story theme before and we were thrilled by it. It definitely has its own place in our many history dramas out now, though having the Celtic gods actually speak, is going to upset the conformists.

If you aren't looking for a megahit big budget historical movie, but something more alternative, then this is an outstanding movie series.

You can watch it on their official website, streaming. The cinematography is so close to the powerful acting performances that I was pulled in and and couldn't stop watching. Then suddenly the 45 minutes was up. I want to see more! The Gaelic (Irish) lines were great to hear!

Mystery, a sense of mystery was in the air. These Celtic gods were talking about what they had seen elsewhere under the Roman occupation and while Gods they also seemed vulnerable and human, this was fascinating to see and the actors brought this sense of conscience and empathy that we don't normally associate with inhuman Gods, and this is true to Celtic culture as many of the gods were half human, demigods. There was weakness and strength. Mortality and Immortality in each God.

The writer-director and actors are superstars to bring this all to life.

If you want to see an alternative story of Gods/Mortals speaking, this is the movie series for you. It brings ancient Druid Celtic myth, history, religion, to life in our time.
