An interesting and thoughtful film that was very well filmed.

An interesting and thoughtful film that was very well photographed.

My only issue was with the music which I found intrusive and, at times, so loud it drowned out people speaking. In the end I had to watch with subtitles in order to know what people were saying.

Impressive portrait - great documentairy of a painter

Watched the docu 3 times now, and the man inspired me to paint again after a long break. During a trip to Edinburgh I dropped the Scottish Gallery an email because I wanted to view a painting of him IRL. The staff and me picked out one of his works they had in stock, and we made an appointment for the viewing. That meant a lot to me!

If you are into art, this portrait is a must see. 10 out of 10 from me.

If you are into rugged landscapes, unspoiled Scottish ones, you will love this film.

As a painter, Morrison ought to be better known; this film should give his reputation and legacy a major uplift.

Jan / Netherlands.

Beautifully filmed tribute

I'll admit to a little bias - Montrose is my home town and I've know of James Morrison since my school days. I hope this carefully crafted documentary brings his work to a bigger audience. I loved the photography around Montrose and St Cyrus and thought the animation was a clever way of illustrating episodes from James's career.
