Featured review
Film defence
I must take issue with the bobbowhite review.
As a citizen of Ireland I can safely say that this film is easy to understand and accents should not be adjusted just so that USA folk can follow.
If an English MP can find the film enjoyable and recommend it to her 35,000+ twitter followers, then no-one should complain.
The scenery is superb.
The characters just right for the West of Ireland as I remember it.
The whole scope of the current Irish populace is contained in the film and age old attitudes subtly dealt with.
