Superbly strange. Perfect hilarity!! I knew I'd love this after about 5 minutes. A witty score, dark script, poker-faced characters - and the most deadpan, black Irish humor that shortly turns side-slappingly outrageous. The chemistry between these two Irish losers is tremendous.... read more
This is one of those films you'll either love or you'll wonder why you & they bothered. I'm "b".
Hilarious! The line between reality and fantasy, fact and fiction gets blurry as the film gets inside the mind of the writer and director of a film. Really good dark comedy.
It's a small picture that embraces its smallness, centered on a self-reflexive premise and some twisted, punishing campy humor. Full Review
An often wickedly funny and witty dark comedy that becomes somewhat uneven in tone and eventually loses its steam as well as its bite. Full Review
The smarmily organic execution pivots upon unpredictable flourishes of postmodern reflexivity and quiet nods to the perplexing traditions of Irish storytelling. Full Review
If Mark and Pierce had been two people whose welfare I cared more deeply about, the film might have carried me for the duration. As it is, they were a bit like guests who stayed too long at dinner. Full Review
It feels like a television episode gone on too long. Full Review
The epilogue leaves you feeling hollow and empty, but as a less-than-satisfying film concludes, you may also realise that this is entirely the point. Full Review
Shot digitally on a low budget, the film is basically a one-joke concept spun out to 90 minutes. Full Review
A rather outrageous comedy which knows exactly what it's doing and, within its limitations, does it very well indeed. Full Review
What begins as downbeat Irish humour soon turns into bleak, black comedy in this dryly farcical Irish film, made possible by perfectly pitched, deadpan performances that are kept in check Full Review
