"This scenic and sacred path is warmly profiled in the often captivating, beautifully shot documentary. Following the pilgrims' arrival at the route's traditional end, the gorgeous, mainly Romanesque Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the film then tracks a group of travelers on an extension trip to the mysterious Cape Finisterre. Prior to the discovery of the Americas, this rocky peninsula, which juts out into the Atlantic, was once thought to be the edge of the known world. Today it serves as a kind of bonus to the Camino walk; a dazzling, remote spot where clothing is ritually burned in oceanfront bonfires and a famed, 1800s-era lighthouse illuminates the dangerous coast. This stirringly captured sequence provides a memorable coda to a largely inspiring and transporting portrait." - Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

"The real star of the film is cinematographer Iskra Valtcheva. 'Walking to Santiago is like passing through a rainbow,' a pilgrim says wistfully. From luminous stain glass windows to golden wheat rippling in a breeze and poppies spread out over lush grass like pools of blood, Valtcheva's camera revels in all the colors of that rainbow. But Valtcheva and Cook also find beauty in the works of man: the almost supernatural speed of Johansen's fingers running up and down his cello strings; a censer on a long chain, billowing incense, swinging like a pendulum through the inside of the Compostela; and the image of pilgrims walking through a fog-shrouded road while cyclists and cars quietly drift by them." - Under the Radar
