    This film did not fail to entertain me. When I left my seat I couldn't stop thinking about this film. Moe Dunford did an excellent job portraying intense realism. Writing was exceptionally good. Great concept.

    Throughly enjoyed it. Recommend it to everyone.

    Nice to see Irish films like this. Interesting plot and acting was quite good. The film is slow but if you allow yourself to go with it it is a very pleasant experience. Good Irish film.

    I enjoyed this but it wasn't hugely entertaining for someone outside of the Art House circle. The acting was quite good. The shots were lovely and bleak which worked well for the film's story which is bleak. The plot has some issues but that is only if you think about it too much, as with so many films. Overall, it is worth a watch.

    I enjoyed this film so much. The acting was great, the cinematography was appropriately rough and off-kilter which matched the way this film grapples with perspective and memory. I really felt the story and it haunted me after viewing it. I had deep discussions about this film, because it tackles elements of emotional trauma, justice, mystery, family, and community. There is so much meat on this bone, so much to "dig" into. I highly recommend this film for the indie film lovers who want to see something special that reverberates in the mind for a while.

    Saw this at TIFF where it received positive reviews. I will definitely seek this film out on DVD or digital release. 8/10 (not 10 only because at times the dialogue was unintelligible, but that might have been due to my American ears)

    Watched this at Galway. Competant cinematography and good Irish cast who try their best in a film that really hasn't got much going on. Unfortunately no amount of slow-mo montages or forced dramatic moments can get around the fact that the story is weak. It's only around 90 minutes but feels much longer and the ending is just silly.
