    Cracking story and acting

    Witty and cringey at the same time. Great acting from all three showing the ancient angst between the English and the Irish. Well shot with clear dialogue. Congratulations to all

    Hilarious

    Fantastic film Brian Martin is a fantastic actor and writer. I enjoyed watching this film again as much as I did when I saw it in the lighthouse cinema Dublin. Still gives me goosebumps.
