"Opening on the Johnstone family farm in Cambridge, When the Cows Come Home, Johnstone is enthusiastic to expound his views on animal husbandand bovine communication, before the film walks us back through the events that have shaped the farmer-philosopher – from personal family tragedy to warring with Catholic school authorities, innovating in Hamilton’s nascent&o creating guerrilla art installations; Johnstone’s life has had a truly idiosyncratic trajectory. Mental health issues may have seen him retreat to life on the farm, but the film makes clear its subject’s restless inquisitiveness is far from being put out to pasture."
