Made in Belfast

I love the actors mentioned in the above title, they have been in films I really admire them for, this film doesn't deserve them, I'm sorry...I gave up after 30 minutes of people talking about what happened back in the day, his father died might of been a compelling shift to the constant talking but that seemed to matter none to the protagonist, nothing really happens despite my hopes, the first couple minutes seemed kind of witty and promising...oh well.

For a movie with no known actors, writers or directors, at the time personally; this is a little gem. It took 8 years for me to become aware of this movie, and watch it, ironically on St. Patrick's Day 2021.

What a joy to watch, it was so comedic. Some viewers won't get the inside of the movie but, they will enjoy the overall. Only those born in Ireland, North and South, will get the humour, completely.

Whoever gave this 10/10 is probably involed in the film, or related to someone that is.

It is watchable, but slow, and it has some odd editing. Im not actually sure if it's meant to be a light drama, or a boy comes home nostalgia with a touch of romance.

Unfortunately it hangs on the male lead Ciaran Mcmenamin, who is the least charismatic and charming member of the cast, if not all of Ireland, so he shouldn't really be a lead. Why any of the other characters would care that this piece of mahogany came home is beyond me. The rest of the cast are decent, but are unfortunately wasted on this film as a result.

It's not terrible, but there are much better uses of your time!

A story should start well and set out an objective or perhaps keep the audience guessing. The set-up is exciting and interesting, This doesn't, it meanders through tediousness with cameos to enlighten the viewing simply doesn't work. but then what follows just becomes dull, long-winded or confusing.

The acting is great. The dialogue very believable--except for Manny's loveletter.

The younger brother is amazingly wise in matters of forgiveness. Offers a life lesson we can all learn from.
