Limited appeal - Patience: After Sebald review by Swambi
If you have read the book, enjoyed it and want an Open University style review, then go for this film. Otherwise you will find that although there are some interesting clips, most is a disjointed pastiche, referring to a book you know nothing about and combining commentary by a range of literary intellectuals with ancient film clips and random shots of the countryside.

Atmospheric but shallow - Patience: After Sebald review by GL
Great for picking up gems of Sebald himself but as a whole it's a bit scatty, unfocussed with some pretty pointless observations from some questionable interviews.
