    Sooooo slow. Not a bad movie exactly, but deals with life in a small Irish town, and my goodness, it makes sure you feel their boredom. The cast are all very ordinary and convincing, and it all feels very real.
    It is worth a watch, but I couldn't really recommend anyone rush ... read moreout and rent it.

    Slow, mesmerizing and poignant tale of the fragility of village life with an assured performance from Shortt.
