Reviews

  • "Margreth Olin’s striking doc, SONGS OF EARTH, is the kind of movie made for the big screen where it can sweep you away in its depiction of the vastness of nature—Olin loves to pull back the camera to show just how much of a spec humans really are."
    - Awards Daily
  • "A delicate film, one that frequently feels like it benefits more from being experienced than analyzed or interrogated."
    - Hollywood Reporter
  • "A remarkable, poetic meditation, SONGS OF EARTH weaves the smallness of human lifespan into the grandness of the earth’s history, and does it all with unspeakable beauty."
