Adapted by Nichola Bruce from the acclaimed photographic novel by Timothy O'Grady and Steve Pyke, 'I Could Read The Sky' is a haunting and lyrical film about identity, love, loss, and the isolation and loneliness of the immigrant. Dermot Healy movingly portrays a man reflecting upon his life, from his rural upbringing on the West Coast of Ireland to his journey to London and experiences in the vividly modern metropolis. Driven by a dynamic music soundtrack that draws from both environments, the film is a labyrinthine, visually extraordinary journey into the textures, fragments, details and layers of one man's life and memories.

4 out of 10 Very good but needs patience

A very literary sort of film. The whirling images are distracting and annoying at first but you get used to them if you stick with it. After a while you tune them out and listen to the voice in a sort of hypnotic trance. The film is a bit like a poetry reading and quite engaging if you can stick with it. You need more than one brain cell to enjoy it. If you're a transformers fan this isn't for you. A sad tale of an Irishman moving to London and dying destitute in one room.

The worst movie i saw in my lifetime,the changing of frames just made me dizzy,1 hour passed and i thought i was going to get sick with motion sickness.How does a movie like this get made?i am never going to pay my tv license if this is the outcome or finished product. If you want to bore your friends to death then get this movie.I would rate this movie -1.Shame on you RTE.
