Serena Seghedoni

Limbo documents the refugee experience with irony, wit and heart, telling the tale of a young Syrian musician waiting for asylum on a remote Scottish island.

One of the greatest strengths of the film is the way that it beautifully balances tone. Sharrock skillfully manages to deftly move between comedy and tragedy... the result is something simultaneously heartbreaking yet uplifting.

In a movie that's witty and perceptive, affectionate and poignant, and unwavering and clear-eyed, the tonal seesaw that Sharrock rides and perfects is just that: perfection.

The feature is simultaneously a tremendously fun experience while also being harrowing and haunting in the best of ways. Relevant and important, Limbo demands to be seen and is absolutely worth seeking out!
