Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

ffuente78 The previous 6 reviews on this documentary are truly spot on. I cannot add anything else to these wonderful reviews except that I have seen this MASTERPIECE a few months ago and still cannot stop recommending it to all. In fact I will keep on recommending it forever. (Moreover it shows Scotland so beautiful therefore a tempting destination even when the weather is appalling like right now this summer). Man on Wire documentary was as excellent, what a gifted Documentary team. I hope they are going to give us some more jewels documentaries. The characters in this story are so endearing and so human. The soul searching and landscapes magnificent.

ect3 I was recommended this documentary by a friend and am I glad I was directed towards it. It had me totally gripped from the first take and I can only agree with what the other reviewers felt on watching it. It is both emotionally and visually stunning. As for Garnet what a character. Why he would ever see himself as a failure is beyond me. The depth of feeling which he portrayed for both his Mother and his passions was priceless. He is a real gem in life's rich tapestry. I wish him peace and contentment in whatever the future has in store for him. It was a documentary worth its own weight in gold in so many ways.Brilliant stuff Ed I look forward to your next documentary.

debbiethrower This is quite the best piece of television I have seen in ages. Garnet and his mother will live long in the memory. The filming was beautiful, witty, and affectionate. Garnet's musings on life and love were the thoughts of an Everyman but also showed his uniquely eccentric (and poetic) talent surfacing irrepressibly. Watching his story unfold we are each challenged as to what constitutes success, the value of investing in our relationships and what's meant by leading 'a good life.' Blessed are the poor in spirit all right. Garnet's painfully honest self assessment puts him only "a little lower than the angels." There are nuggets of pure gold wisdom hidden in these 75 minutes. Well done Ed Perkins.

chilliwin Great story, Garnet Frost is an English gem. Beautifully filmed with some wonderful Scottish landscapes the photography is stunning. A quirky, intelligent, interesting man's journey handled by the film maker's with what felt like a genuine warmth. How nice these days to see a persons life treated with dignity and interest rather than the shoddy, "let's laugh at someone different" TV we're mostly served up. I thought this is really about a quest by a man to find his place in the world with a subplot of his search for lost gold. We see the ups and downs of an ordinary/extraordinary man's life as he struggles with love lost, the health of his mum, finances and his passionate search for Bonny Prince Charlie's lost gold ! Along the way there are pub singalongs, marauding midges, weather balloons and a marvellous taste of his poetry. As far as I'm concerned it's a little treasure !
