The critical consensus

Enjoyable if fairly repetitive documentary focusing on old-school entertainment.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 30/11/2015

Benedikt Erlingsson’s strange, woozy documentary ranges across half a century of circus and fairground entertainment.

The anonymous performers from so long ago show both bravery and, often, startling balletic grace. It's very eerie to watch.

****(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 03/12/2015

Icelandic director Benedikt Erlingsson binds archive footage together with a stunning Sigur Rós soundtrack to evoke all the fun of the fair.
