Irati

It is the women who are the heart and fire of the tale, guiding or fighting the men as need be, and sadly, it is they who are forgotten (though not by everyone) as the world moves on. We don't get enough films like IRATI, ones that keep the story grounded to a place and time that is unique and real, a place we can understand from our own corner of the world, while still swept up in the amazing sights, monsters, gods, and legends it brings us. It's a rich fantasy tale grounded in history and people of whom we can still feel the ghosts lingering on the earth. (Shelagh Rowan-Legg, Screen Anarchy)
