Flicks, Steve Newall
flicksPlaying in limited release, Camino Skies follows six inspirational Australian and New Zealand pilgrims as they set out to conquer the mighty 800km Camino de Santiago. It's a more everyday, possibly even downright heretical, attitude than one might traditionally associate with a spiritual pilgrimage.
The Age
pressDespite the pretty cinematography and "inspirational" tone, the approach has a lot in common with the voyeuristic formula of reality TV: following vulnerable people through demanding situations and waiting for them to crack.
Stuff
pressWhile it won't be an absorbing watch for everyone, there will be some likely to consider it ideal heartwarming viewing for the depths of winter.
New Zealand Herald
pressA work of compassion and maturity from a couple of young film-makers.
