It's a glorious film, in large part because it is a reminder of in what low regard we often hold those of "a certain age." You'll come out of the theater full of respect and admiration for these people. Read full review

Older Than Ireland isn't relentlessly upbeat. It's filled with stories of loss, disappointment, tough lessons learned and compromises made, and it's hard not to suspect that the genetic hand you're dealt counts for a lot. Read full review

Though never managing to surprise us much, this brisk encounter with the living past has moments of charm and the occasional fresh perspective. Read full review
