What people are saying
‘Stunningly beautiful and genuinely spiritually enlarging - breathtaking scenery, exquisite music, and poetic narration take us to locations no one but the most daring of daredevils have ever seen...‘
Nell Minow
AWFJ Women on Film
‘With a lesser actor, East of the Mountains could have come across as tedious or maudlin, or both. Instead, Skerritt delivers a performance of such understated eloquence and dignity that it emerges as a quiet gem.‘
