The Ballad of a Great Disordered Heart Trailers

A collaborative film by Aidan O’Rourke, Becky Manson and Mark Cousins. A musical melange of fiddles, friendship and a search for home. An evocative film about Edinburgh’s Old Town and the communities who have called it home. During lockdown, musician Aidan O’Rourke befriended his three octogenarian neighbours, all called Margaret. Inspired by their tales, with a renewed curiosity for his own roots, he takes a musical journey into the meaning of home and belonging. This celebratory film about folk music and its power to connect features a foot-stomping original soundtrack by O’Rourke and live performances by sensational Irish and Scottish folk musicians.

Reviews
Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
