“Having the distinction of being filmed for a period of over 12 years, Palmer’s documentary would have you think that his roving camera was in fact voraciously following several sparring Traveller clans in Ireland. But the fact of the matter is the act of filmmaking seems to be more of an afterthought, as what Palmer’s camera (much like his audience) really seeks is the rabid thrill of hand to hand bare-knuckled fighting.”
