A moderately inspiring tale of courage and conviction that, unfortunately, gets bogged down in excessive talkiness and a deluge of 20th Century Irish politics at the expense of character development and a cogent narrative. The overall effectA moderately inspiring tale of courage and conviction that, unfortunately, gets bogged down in excessive talkiness and a deluge of 20th Century Irish politics at the expense of character development and a cogent narrative. The overall effect is a film striving to make a point but never fully succeeding.… Expand

Interesting set up and beginning to the movie, but not much happens to a disappointing conclusion. Good analogy to today's problems of the 1% controlling the government and police while the poor have no way out.

I enjoyed the scenes of traditional Irish dance and the feel of community with the numerous locals getting together to make use of said hall. Of course there is a darker side to the story and it'd be fair to say its main theme is intolerance.I enjoyed the scenes of traditional Irish dance and the feel of community with the numerous locals getting together to make use of said hall. Of course there is a darker side to the story and it'd be fair to say its main theme is intolerance. There are scenes of violence depicted and I was a little squeamish on ocassion, thats not to say there's especially graphic, gorey scenes present (although some bloody injury is depicted in passing) but its more a case of what things represent, the metaphors at play, the social commentary aspect that I found sobering. Its worth a watch.… Expand
