‘With Helene Louvart’s excellent cinematography a real plus, The Salt Path is a cinematic journey worth taking’

Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

‘Beautifully shot by noted cinematographer Hélène Louvart, this portion of England often acts like its own character in the story. Often it seems happy the Winns are there gifting them wonderous moments of beauty. And, sometimes, it rages against them, attempting to force them back to civilization.’
