• ‘Excellent’: 7 votes
  • A well-made, handsome film!  Lovely to look at England and a bit of Scotland.  Much ‘food for thought’
  • Brill
  • Excellent documentary and hopefully the Right To Roam movement win their case for us to be like Scotland.
  • I wish everybody could see this film.
  • Political and time for a change – but not the House of Lords
  • Thought provoking – comparison to Slave abolition was so right.
  • Interesting and informative.  Makes you think.
• ‘Very Good’: 8 votes
  • Three things to take from this film:
    • 1. We all need to reconnect with nature;
    • 2. Rearing millions of non-native birds each year, just to fill them with lead, is not responsible management of the countryside.
    • 3. Some landowners could do with leaving their estates occasionally and engaging with real people.
  • Complex
  • Beautiful film
  • A reminder that the good things of life are too often reserved for the few. How do they get away with it? Also, a reminder of the magic of nature and the wonder of music.
  • Lovely scenery.  Wish more people would just get out and walk.
  • Thought provoking.
  • When you’re so accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.  Woth remembering Scotland also has very few leasehold properties.
  • Very interesting
• ‘Good’: 1 vote
• ‘Satisfactory’:  1 vote
  • Very soporific.  Not sure it went anywhere.  Characters who were too entrenched to meet anywhere.  Arguments over simplified.

  • Could have been said in half the time.  Don’t agree with the right to roam, plenty of land already available to walk over.
