Packing two terrific turns and an offbeat spirit, this coming-of-middle-age comedy is an unexpected treat. Read full review

Elegant, engaging meditation on displacement and the modern man. Read full review

Nov 28, 2012

This engaging character study functions best as a two-hander: The male leads build a wholly believable, offbeat co-dependency, while their interactions with others tend toward the more generic. Read full review

The fact that director Darragh Byrne has laden things with a Celtic Whimsy 101 score and a sketched outline of a script makes it even tougher for Meaney to lift this film out of its social-drama rut. Read full review

Meany was also wonderful in his role. The movie drew me in from the opening to the tearful ending. I thought the movie was well executed and well acted. Great ensemble cast. And worth your time to watch! Ignore the so-called 'professional critics'. Some wouldn't know how to find their 'derriere' if you gave them a map.… Expand

An interesting movie on life's unexpected outcomes and friendships. The two main characters, played by Colm Meaney and Colin Morgan, are poetically, subtly and elegantly embodied.
