Pretty Good
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Watched it 3 times and going again, this is just loads of fun. Shows off some of the best of Sligo. Colm Meaney and Art Malik lead a strong and quirky cast with Many great bit parts, lots of distinct personalities in the mix, a culture clash comedy that offers hope and the humanness of us all. There are running themes of serious issues bubbling under the surface always at play, unemployment, diverse new communities, family and home versus travel...Brilliant ensemble performances in montages. Mark O Halloran and Conor McDermottroe deliver a story that has layers and is touching yet very very funny. Kylie Minogue song was written especially for the film. Sligo's mystical landscape is revealed in lovely cinematography.
