16 Years till Summer

Documentary, Biography, Crime

Uisdean wants forgiveness. After 16 years in prison, released to to the Highlands, he wrestles ambition with caring for his father. When the law catches up, a fraught love story intervenes, pitting euphoric reinvention against inevitability.

The critical consensus

Compassionate and confounding documentary from the hugely promising filmmaker Lou McLoughlan.

(*) Hannah McGill, The List, 09/11/2016

Another quietly brilliant example of some of the great narrative documentary filmmaking currently being done in Scotland.

(*) Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 10/11/2016

McLoughlan’s unobtrusive style shows but never tells, leaving the viewer to decide if Uisdean deserves forgiveness.

(*) (*) Alan Evans, The Guardian, 10/11/2016
