With all that's out there... I think there's better ways to spend your time. It's a slow downer. The acting is not bad... but just not enough time for character and story building for one to truly understand and to care. The makings are there for a mini series.

My first viewing experience of Nika McGuigan on screen and eventually finding out this was her last touched me. A poignant and delicate story about a unearthed sibling relationship and personal conflicts is given substantial emphasis by the attentive and beautiful direction. Well done to Cathy Brady and the whole team for this intricate wonder, and rest in peace Nika...

It's a bit slow...but I like slow, and the film leads, the two sisters, are excellently acted. The film is quite refreshing in that it explores territory taking place well after the Troubles are over, and some time after the peace accord. At first I didn't really care for the character Lauren, but then as the story begins to unfold and you discover what she has experienced you can understand why her character isn't very likeable to begin with. I only began to realise how interesting and complex this film is once it had finished. The film kept me thinking for a few days afterwards, particularly of the characters surrounding both sisters and their insistence on remembering things their way to suit them and to shield them themselves from the unpalatable truths, and not be considerate of the sisters feelings and what they have gone through. The story may be a bit slow to some watching, but it's an interesting slow reveal, Contrary to what I've read, I feel that there is some reward towards the end. It's not sewn up nice and tight with a happy ribbon to suit the happy clappy audience type. It's a slice of life with it's warts and all. A very enjoyable if sad film. I felt a lot of sympathy for both sisters at the end of the film and thought 'there but for the grace of God go I'.

A brilliant film by Cathy Brady a director to watch out for in the future. Its a great film about trauma that is never talked about .Actors are superb. It should have won more awards.

We need more films like this .. After the film my friends and I had a great discussion how it mirrors our life and it gave us an opportunity to talk about our own experiences.
