Loved it too, It's funny in the absurdity of it all and the dialogue. There's a delicate balance of dark humour, the Irish charm of the setting and characters, and subtle deeper aspects that emerge from initially simple seeming characters that tops it all off. Not to mention the excellent acting.
But I suspect a lot of that is a subjective taste, so it's not surprising it's not widely appreciated.
- fsckboy 4y ago> the Irish charm of the setting and characters I find Irish people perfectly charming, but when it comes to the themes of Irish film and literature, charming does not oft spring to my lips. Did you watch this film to the end? warmed the cockles of your heart did it?
- rendall 4y agoI was really down after I left the movie. It was unexpectedly one of the most depressing movies I've seen, right down there with The Reflecting Skin, Irreversible and Black Rain. It is a good movie, and I'm pleased that there's room in the public attention for movies like this, but the way that people talk about it I wonder if we even saw the same movie. I'm in no hurry to watch it again.
- tomxor 4y agoAs I said not for everyone, I watched it to the end, not sure why you are implying otherwise.
- fsckboy 4y ago>not sure why you are implying otherwise i didn't imply anything, I literally asked, and more importantly, in a rhetorical sense as a lead-in to what I said after. my comments in my opinion, like the film in your opinion, are not for everyone, only for people of superior taste.
