Agreed. Seems to really depend on the person. It came highly recommended to me by a family member, describing it as good and funny. I found it absolutely not funny, very strange, and didn't like any of it one bit. Shame, because I really like most of what both leads do.

Completely agree. I kept asking myself "why does this movie exist and why am I watching it?" I'd rather cut off a finger than watch it again. And making that joke was the only time I've laughed about that awful movie.

  > "why does this movie exist?" "What is art?" I started to enjoy film more when I understood that the best directors are just telling a story and not don't care if you like it or not. Of course you are free to hate it. The same applies to any form of art. If you want a movies easy to enjoy, there's the superhero blockbuster movies and Star Wars, I guess.

    I mean, you're not wrong, but the truth is, anyone can tell a story. I hear tons from drunks at bars and homeless folks in my city. What makes a director/story writer so exalted as to have better stories? The best movies, IMO, are those that can tell a story while drawing the audience in. Whether through comedy, sadness, shock, etc. This movie was just a person telling a very weird story. Taken at pure face value, and ignoring the actors' talent, it sounds more like a story a random drunk person on a bus would tell. I understand art is completely subjective, so I'm in no place to say you're wrong. But it's kinda dismissive to tell someone who hated it to watch superhero movies. Now -those- really shouldn't be made.

  It's set during the Irish Civil War. Someone else in this thread posted a Wikipedia link to an article about this war. If you read some of that you'll begin to understand what the film is about.

It had a pretty good premise. But I felt like they couldn’t figure out the rest. The 3rd act felt meh to say the least. The story was perfect for a short film and not a feature film. I bet if you edit the movie down to 20-25 minutes it will make a fantastic piece of art.

It just made me feel rotten. There was no laughter in our cinema.
