Based on the first book in Lewis Grassic Gibbon's A Scots Quair trilogy, British cinema luminary Terence Davies's Sunset Song takes the beloved Scottish classic and bestows it with his own distinctive creative signature.

It has taken Terence Davies 18 years to bring Sunset Song to the screen, but it was worth it.
September 2, 2016 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… -
Davies is in no hurry to tell this intimate story, and he handles it with his customary sensitivity, confirming his status as one of Britain's finest contemporary directors.
August 26, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
As a saga, the film waxes and wanes, but Davies' feel for the painterly landscape and the exquisite construction of whatever is within his frame never wavers.
July 29, 2016 | Full Review… -
It blooms with moments of astonishing beauty: a yellow frenzy of springtime trees; a still room where the light slants in the window like a reaching hand; a desolate landscape, impossibly green.
June 16, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
Like Davies' best work, the movie employs classical rigor - perfectly symmetrical, painterly landscapes and interiors - with unexpected postmodern touches.

Audience Reviews for Sunset Song

Aug 25, 2016It's visual beauty is offset by the fact that the main character remains a cypher from begging to end.Alec B Super Reviewer

Apr 22, 2016Want to visit Scotland but can't afford a plane ticket? Want to see it from a rural perspective, pre-WWl, but no one's invented a time machine yet? You could do worse than this brief visit with a family living their day-to-day lives. Not a lot of exposition here, but it's all beautifully filmed. It's dull in some places, no doubt like Scotland herself, and you'll long for a chase scene somewhere, anywhere, even if it's only in a supermarket.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer
