Surprised by the low rating
I typically agree with IMDB ratings. This one is much lower than I expected. This movie works on multiple levels. It works as a thriller, as an allegory for an eye for an eye leaves us all blind, as a gentle love story, and has a beautiful travel log for rural Ireland. I read one review that said they didn't like the accents, but the entire cast is Irish. This film is underrated, and I don't say that often.
L'm told my review is too short. This might be my first review. I guess I should write some more. I liked that it didn't take sides. IRA or loyalist both look bad, and I think not preaching on politics in film is a virtue. - rockbunny-73250 - 11 May 2024
Nostalgia
Watching this film made me feel like I was a kid watching my Mums tv in the early 90's.
A sweet little film with a very simple storyline. Most 80's and 90's films/programmes were all pretty much simple stories. These days, films are always trying to be extravagant all the time with shock factors. I like me that this film felt very easy, fresh and homely. No major effects and fake personalities.
Liam is always great to watch, love his voice and accent. Always plays a wholesome man who tries to do the right thing.
Music was very sweet too throughout. I'm a UK girl but it's lovely having a hearty film to watch.
Also, just saying: Rita should've gone with him.
