Trivia
The team sport discussed and then played in the early part of the film is Hurling. Hurling (Irish: Iománaíocht/Iomáint), one of Ireland's native Gaelic games. Hurling is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic origin, administered in Ireland by the Gaelic Athletic Association. The game has ancient origins, and is known to have been played for over 3,000 years. In some ways similar to the North American game of Lacrosse, in terms of game play, both are often touted as the world's fastest team field game.

Quotes
Daniel McLaughlin: Ya, I was celibate... from the moment I joined the seminary... until last night.

Leave politics out of film reviews

I am going to watch this movie in the next day or so. Preliminary to that, I scanned a few reviews here. I want to say, if you cannot write a film review without making your political views the centerpiece of your review, as at least one person did here, then please don't write a review, and if you are that person here, take your review down. I am sick and tired of having every politically relevant film ... or book .. be treated as a reason to get up on a personal political soapbox. I don't give a rat's you know what, what your political views are. I am not here for political commentary. I want to know about the film, and only the film. If you can't write about that, then go away. I will be back with my review of this film in the next day or so after I have seen it. Meanwhile I am giving it the average number of stars it has now, so as not to skew the aggregate rating. You're welcome.
