  • “...one of the most compelling, fascinating television programmes onscreen this year. ...a series that finds visual and social beauty in an area where almost no-one else would think to look”
    – The List

  • “This series of perfect, three-minute vignettes serve to create a tantalisingly beautiful elegy to Glasgow's Sighthill...”
    – TV Choice, The Sunday Times

  • “Channel 4's micro-sized vision of life in Sighthill in Glasgow... Small can be beautiful, of course, and this series may just change your opinion on a part of the city that's labouring under a bad reputation and a shrinking population”
    – TV Highlights, The Herald

  • “Small but perfectly formed, this documentary is compulsive viewing...”
    – Pick of the Day, The Daily Record

  • “Filmed over a year...an affecting portrait of the estate and its community, as both begin to disappear”
    – TV Choice, The Sunday Herald
