The Gaelic Curse

This film was a joy. The interaction between characters was a delight. I enjoyed the comedic levity of the film and while some aspects of the plot may journey into the fantastical, I still found qualities of the cast relatable and endearing. A big music and dance scene in the town's pub was a highlight. It felt authentic and as the players on screen were having a good time so did I as a viewer. Writer Brian Walsh impresses with a comedic and sympathetic performance as Limp; and praise to Director Jack Conroy for carving out an entertaining, imaginative and fun movie.

This is my favorite Irish movie overall because the content is truly authentic. I grew up in Ireland and can identify with the storyline. We honestly didn't know how to handle special needs people. These people were different and we simply didn't know how to relate. I love how the storyline played out. This movie Gaelic Curse covered a very big subject matter in a thoughtful and delicate way. There was humor associated with it which made me laugh, there was sadness which made me cry, but the beautiful music lifted my spirits, I highly recommend watching it.

The forms taken by the curse were so contrived and over-the-top that they undermined the charm for me. IMO, this movie would've been greatly improved if the scriptwriters had come up with more subtle ways for the curse to manifest.

My 9 year old daughter and I enjoy this movie, it was refreshing to watch a family movie that was appropriate for younger children to enjoy as well, great humor, and a pretty good message regarding humanity.

There haven't been such strange goings-on in an Irish village since Waking Ned Devine. Not sure if it was the fun, the scenery, the music, or the devil himself but this film was sweet: definitely two lumps of sugar for me.
