Joe Duffy

“You’ll shed a tear or two, possibly more.”

The Guardian

“Delightful…..It’s often said that the Irish, blessed with the gift of gab, can be splendid raconteurs. You’ll find generous evidence to that effect here. And a bit of poetry as well."

New York Times

“Older Than Ireland is peppered with wise words, great memories, plenty of humour, a lot of energy and – cue the Kleenex – one of the saddest true stories I’ve ever heard. If you’re not moved by this film, you’re not human. Poignant, funny, fantastic . . . Oh, just go and see it.”

Reeling Reviews

“Alex Fegan’s documentary about centenarians weaves together oral histories to create a moving portrayal of living at the outer edge of mortality—the subjects are Irish, but the subject is life itself.”

The Herald News

Arts Atlanta

“You will LAUGH. Not an artificial laugh, but a true laugh borne of how alike we are at our core. And you will cry at the realization that the core is all that is important when one has walked the earth for so long.”

No Spoiler Reviewz

“Older Than Ireland establishes a divine presence in the domestic lives of its subjects”

San Francisco Weekly

“This sort of film could be made in many places and still have the raw materials to be a good watch. Whether it would be put together so well is a different question.”

E Film Crtic

“A delightful documentary about bringing up a century”

Stuff.co.nz

“If you love Ireland or if you love pubs, and I’m guessing that covers just about everyone, you’re going to want to see Alex Fegan’s disarmingly modest documentary “The Irish Pub.”

The Boston Herald

“The Irish Pub” plays like a portfolio of lovely postcards, with splendidly photographed pictures of quaint buildings, cobbled streets, breathtaking landscapes, and smiling faces as hollowed and worn as the centuries-old stone floors of the title taverns.”

The Boston Globe

“Alex Fegan has captured beautifully the melody of pubs all over his country”

Calgary Movies

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy this film a lot. To hear the sort of stories told in darkened pubs in a variety of charming brogues would put a smile on anyone’s face.”

“Altogether Charming”
