“For sheer rapturous beauty, Terence Davies's Sunset Song might be the film to top this year.” – Flicks.co.nz
“Terence Davies is a clear-eyed nostalgia artist specializing in the retrieval of the mood and the color of the past. Sunset Song… seems like the culmination of his work.” – MetroActive
“It took Terence Davies 18 years to bring this adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's novel to life. To show my appreciation, I've seen the film twice; and it's just as brutally devastating and moving second time around.” – New Zealand Herald
