Review 2DiscussionA review by Peter McGinn

Written by Peter McGinn on Sat Jan 13 2024
I realized I had watched this movie many years ago, as we have a lot of Mike Leigh's films, but though there were a few spots that sparked a memory, I didn't recall enough to spoil the pleasure of watching it this time.
It is a quiet movie, especially considering that it takes place during the Irish "Troubles," and that seems to have ruffled some reviewers' feathers. Me, I am always up for a slow-paced movie as long as I like the characters and there is some subtle wit and humor included, which this movie had by the bucketful.
The only two actors I recognized I like, who were Charles Laws...
