The Delinquent Season

Very good description of what are our relationships with our husband, wife, children today. Nobody really lies but nobody really tells the truth. A wife who considers her husband as her houseboy, another one who thinks seriously that she just have to snap her fingers to make the lover she thrown badly come back right away. I like the end of the film because a man has found what he was looking for, may be even without having the consciousness of that, a woman who loves him. Even if they are coming from very different backgrounds, he knows he is beloved. the actors are all very good. Too bad that this film had only a limited distribution. Bravo to the Irish cinema, and especially to Cillian Murphy who is not afraid to take risks when he chooses a character to play.

I enjoyed this drama story through its runtime. The story, the sudden twist, great screenplay real performances make it so watchable and enjoyable. Totally recommended!!

Am not much of a romantic movie lover and I really didn't expect anything awesome from this movie but was I blown away by what I just watched? Don't be fooled by the slow start or style! I straight couldn't think of a better ending to such drama and after years of being fed horribly scripted marvel movie endings, this was such a real relief. Even though it's fiction, it was so well scripted, directed and acted. All the four main characters did exceptionally well and I really felt the emotions. From a vulnerable state, to becoming self-centered, to being naive and reckless, then becoming angry, desperate almost to the point of obsession, to becoming remorseful, then to becoming apathetic, this movie covers every emotional aspect of cheating and it's consequences. I wouldn't wish this happen to any couple esp the man but there's so much wisdom in this movie to learn and I totally recommend it for every man in a relationship. Just a tiny bad seed is all it takes and if you aren't man enough, that seed will grow into a tree and ruin everything for you.

I was pleasantly surprised by the new romantic drama,The Delinquent Season. It was not at all what I was expecting, when the mild mannered characters engaged in a scandalous affair I was taken aback. The drama filled plot was entertaining and I was excited to see the characters lives unravel. I am impressed by Cillian Murphy's noteworthy portrayal of a man who discovers he doesn't have his life together. His love interest, Yvonne, played by Catherine Walker has a tough acting challenge battling with emotion of guilt and grief, but I feel she raises to the occasion and I hope to she her in more films. Overall the film, although a little unhurried, had some strong performances and a number of impressive dramatic scenes that make the film remarkable.

It was Cillian Murphy that attracted me to watch this movie. And I got so much more. Solid story with a presentation of moral dilemmas that have a lasting effect - both in thought and discussions. What would you do when impossible situations present themselves as attractive temptations? Cillian Murphy and Catherine Walker carry the movie, with great moments of Andrew Scott and Eva Birthistle. Solid hour and 3/4 of good acting. Most probably for the deeper thinkers, as this is not a light romance. I loved the ending and the outcome and the statement it makes. Counter-intuitive, I would say. Watch it to understand.
