Truth About Kerry

Lower budget films ARE indie films people so no. You won't get a lot of expense so why is everyone expecting so much in the way of "oh, it could have been so much better had it been a big budget film." No. It was wonderful the way it was.

I DO agree with the other reviewer that in no way whatsoever could Jessica Dean pass for 29 years old. She has a blog on Youtube which is fairly recent and is shown with very short hair and is clearly in her forties. Since the film was made in 2010-2011, she would have still been in her forties. Lol They needed a younger actress, but maybe it was a budget issue.

The plot of this movie was promising. Woman visits Ireland. Woman dies in Ireland. Woman's friend goes to Ireland to find out the truth of her death. Was it murder or accident?

I am amazed that I found good reviews on this film.

The writing was incredibly amateur - the dialogue could have been more professionally written by a teenager. The acting was poor and amateurish. The film was loaded with the typical American version of Irish stereotypes. The Irish do not use the word 'grand' in every single sentence.

Don't waste your time watching this movie. The scenery was nice - filmed on the Ring of Kerry - but that was the only positive I could find.

I have to confess this film was recommended to me because of others I'd been watching, so I thought why not. I didn't know any of the actors and after watching the film, I am not particularly interested in seeing them again.

However, the director and co-writer have produced a wondrous story about loss and guilt that completely engaged me. The photography is solid in setting the somber tone and the plot moves at a solid pace into a surprise I did not anticipate at all. Be forewarned, the climax at the end can be disturbing, so approach it with caution.

I highly recommend the plot and the imagery, but don't expect a great deal of solid acting in this otherwise engaging independent film.

I found this to be a badly acted thriller which was a shame as the premise was pretty good.

The Irish scenery was nice but the direction was pretty laboured and the dialogue was pretty clumsy and off-putting.

Just when I had written off this film as totally dreadful the surprisingly brutal ending saved the day. I just wasn't expecting it after 70 pretty uneventful minutes beforehand. Just as a poor ending can break a previously good film then a good ending can make a poor film that much better and for me that was the case with this effort.

There was a decent film in here somewhere trying to get out and with a a stronger cast and a higher budget this could have been a success but unfortunately this low budget effort isn't likely to appeal to many people i'm afraid.

When acting is bad you can tell it's acting. All of it seemed amateurish. From the script to the lighting to the camera work. The lead actresses were awful. The ending awful.
