    Heartwarming story, fantastic soundtrack

    I was so much looking forward to this film! As a lover of everything 80s Synth Pop and Wave and beyond, of course I was delighted by the film's soundtrack (but what else would you expect than fantastic musical taste by the filmmaker himself). It's a heartwarming, genuine story with fantastic actors. What I loved best is that my brother is called Danny and his daughter is called Carla. ✨✨✨🙌

    One to watch

    Very entertaining, light hearted movie. Go back in time to the 80's, when social media didn't exist, sit back and enjoy the movie. Well worth the watch.

    light entertainment, for all the family

    A lot of people gave this romantic/unconventional/family film low scores on the reviews and that's part of the appeal, that's what got me to watch it. Not everyone who watches will take a few minuets to throw down a few words but haters will always find issues with things, regardless of quality. I enjoyed the simplistic viewing and in particular the quirkiness and awkwardness of the characters. It's this strangeness that has its appeal.

    Im not sure what people were expecting though. For me It's a simple, enjoyable feel good movie for all. It's not trying to recreate the wheel. Kick back with your favourite brew to hand, watch Danny on his adolescent journey to becoming a man/women/binary option or what ever he decides (can't give anything away).

    For a mostly unknown cast and crew it wasn't without its charm, oh wait, his mammy and a few others are known on the Irish circuit. Give it watch and support the Irish film industry.

    Great entertainment, great music

    This movie is great fun ... recalling 1980s discos and style. All the more enjoyable with a punchy soundtrack that adds to the engaging storyline. Kudos to all the cast who brought the story to life so vividly. Highly recommended!

    DONT MISS THIS MOVIE

    Looking for an enjoyable night at the movies. Well don't miss this one so. A blast from the past, set in the 80's with all its style and humour, not to mention the hairstyles. A coming of age/ love story in the pre social media age, where the awkward moments in life were all played out face to face. Great cast and Director.
