An utterly definitive work.

Times (UK)
It's a disappointment, though watched again now for this rerelease, it doesn't seem as much of a disappointment as all that.

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
It begins and ends with the word "Yes", and like much of this amiable, affecting and garrulous 1967 film, prompts a similar response from the viewer.

Leo Robson
Financial Times
There's much to appeal in this miniature odyssey, notably the superb black-and-white location work.

Wally Hammond
Time Out
The film does not pretend to supplant Ulysses; it takes bold, responsible and joyous advantage of the fact that the book exists.

Mr. Strick directed Ulysses and shared the screenplay with Fred Haines. I congratulate them both.

There is a lot to admire in this curio of a film.

Sky Cinema
A flawed enterprise, partly salvaged by the use of genuine Dublin locations and the marvellous performances of the mainly Irish cast.
