Pilgrim Hill is a 2013 Irish rural drama film. Writer and director Gerard Barrett won the Rising Star Award at the 10th Irish Film & Television Awards.[1]
The film depicts the solitary life of an Irish dairy farmer, living with only his invalided father in a remote Irish location. The film catalogues his daily farming routine as well as his rather limited encounters with others. The Irish Times (in a four-star review) wrote: "Barrett's debut feature is a quietly stunning slice of rural naturalism. A masterful debut."[2]
