It's a bit slow...but I like slow, and the film leads, the two sisters, are excellently acted. The film is quite refreshing in that it explores territory taking place well after the Troubles are over, and some time after the peace accord. At first I didn't really care for the character Lauren, but then as the story begins to unfold and you discover what she has experienced you can understand why her character isn't very likeable to begin with. I only began to realise how interesting and complex this film is once it had finished. The film kept me thinking for a few days afterwards, particularly of the characters surrounding both sisters and their insistence on remembering things their way to suit them and to shield them themselves from the unpalatable truths, and not be considerate of the sisters feelings and what they have gone through. The story may be a bit slow to some watching, but it's an interesting slow reveal, Contrary to what I've read, I feel that there is some reward towards the end. It's not sewn up nice and tight with a happy ribbon to suit the happy clappy audience type. It's a slice of life with it's warts and all. A very enjoyable if sad film. I felt a lot of sympathy for both sisters at the end of the film and thought 'there but for the grace of God go I'.
