In A House That Ceased To Be
“The most honest and unflinching documentary of its kind I have ever seen. It is funny, infuriating, sad and inspiring.... a meditation on how love and humanity can flourish in the face of the unspeakable”
“It’s an absolutely magnificent film.... Powerful and compelling. Deeply insightful, at turns harrowing and hilarious.”
“There are no words. Except that you must see this film. Go.”
“An absolutely essential and very important piece of work.”
”This powerful piece of film-making is a mesmerising meditation on the nature of good and evil, and celebrates the triumph of the human spirit.”
”This is an important and quite brilliant film. You must see it.”
“It’s hard to imagine that we will see a more moving film this year than this documentary... Director Ciarín Scott makes the very best of the fecund material. Shooting on widescreen in such disparate locales as Mongolia, Vietnam, Texas and Brighton, she breaks up the interchanges with vistas of great beauty. The final graceful tracking shot honours a painfully tender relationship. Not to be missed.”
“Director Ciarín Scott presents a raw Christina Noble, who conveys the story of her life with deeply affecting power”
“Real and riveting”
“A documentary that should be seen by everyone. Well made & totally honest... ‘In A House That Ceased To Be’ is something that should be burned into the memory of every Irish person out there”
“Deeply emotional ride…every person should see it”
“Ciarín Scott’s documentary hits hard.... A thoroughly absorbing documentary.”

“Scott’s portrait of Morrison is refreshingly frank and intimate… A challenging account of his extraordinary life”
“Ciarín Scott’s absorbing Waiting for the Light pays welcome, long overdue tribute to George Morrison, the pioneering director of the remarkable historical documentaries, Mise Éire and Saoirse?”
