Sea Sorrow

"Vanessa Redgrave’s personal documentary-essay on the refugee crisis has sincerity and force, and some valuable insights; I think it deserves a hearing, despite the obvious ungainliness of its production values. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Sincere and wide-ranging but never hectoring, 'Sea Of Sorrow' is a worthwhile attempt to shine a light on a complex issue and to find reasons for hope in a situation that seems eternally disheartening." 

"It’s perhaps most effective when it’s most prosaic (...) Vanessa Redgrave clearly isn’t done surprising us." 

"The political activism is emotional but unfocused (...) You can’t help being on Vanessa Redgrave’s side in 'Sea Sorrow' (...) Its scattershot lack of focus somewhat dilutes its final impact and appeal." 

"A plain but passionate call to end the refugee crisis (...) Redgrave is wise to ground this portrait on a personal level."
