    This was a good example of authenic Irish story, set in 1924. The characters looked real and had great credibility. The story was a good one, and everyone would know someone in their family that was like the father character. In the end, he walks away weeking, as both his son and daugher in law have left him. A good tale for all ages.

    If your a Cillian Murphy fan you will probably like it. I did and this is not my kind of movie. I would recommend it. If you can understand the strong accent, its a good story

    Slow slow slow. Be ready to really watch this with a strong cup of coffee or a pint or two.
