The Dig

I enjoyed this but it wasn't hugely entertaining for someone outside of the Art House circle. The acting was quite good. The shots were lovely and bleak which worked well for the film's story which is bleak. The plot has some issues but that is only if you think about it too much, as with so many films. Overall, it is worth a watch.

This film did not fail to entertain me. When I left my seat I couldn't stop thinking about this film. Moe Dunford did an excellent job portraying intense realism. Writing was exceptionally good. Great concept.

Throughly enjoyed it. Recommend it to everyone.

Starts out bleakley and gers better and better. really great acting from the 4 lead actors. I did kinda guess the ending but still great and shocking. give it a watch.

Nice to see Irish films like this. Interesting plot and acting was quite good. The film is slow but if you allow yourself to go with it it is a very pleasant experience. Good Irish film.

Ronan Callahan (Moe Dunford) returns home after serving 15 years for the murder of his girlfriend. He finds her father Sean McKenna (Lorcan Cranitch) digging up his land looking for her missing body. Her sister Roberta McKenna (Emily Taaffe) struggles to get her father home. Ronan has no memory of that night due to his drinking. He cannot get rid of her father and decides to join his dig. Murphy (Francis Magee) is the family friend policeman who continues to harass Ronan.

This is quite a story concept. For a long time, I wasn't sure about the Roberta character or even the need for her. For most of this movie, I find her a distraction until the last part where it all makes sense. This Northern Ireland indie has some great actors. Despite only recognizing Magee, the actors are doing great work.
