Winter's End

From the opening shot there's a sense of expectancy in this film by Patrick Kenny.The bleak setting of an solitary farmhouse silhouetted against a cold sky conveys the loneliness and isolation of the place,and indeed of those living within it.It conjured up images of JB Keanes theatre and the sometimes wretched lives of the forgotten souls in deepest rural Ireland. Henry is a desperate man,teetering on the edge of sanity,alone and angry.When a young outsider unwittingly parks his car on Henry's land he finds himself very quickly hurled in to Henry's warped parallel universe. Henry is well played by Michael Crowley,who's character walks a solitary path on the edges of insanity. The plot twists and turns well to keep any viewer guessing. The rural setting is perfect and holds us hostage in Henry's dangerous kingdom, add to this an incredible,award winning soundtrack to take the audience on an uncomfortable,dark journey. A strong and clever story,well written,well cast all round and thoughtfully directed. Patrick Kenny can be very pleased indeed with this work
