Truth About Kerry

Terrible dialogue that would barely be convincing on the page, appalling acting - especially from the bit parts that immediately lessen the impact of a group of amateurs doing their very best, and sloppy camera work that appears to have been filmed kit borrowed from a nearby wedding.

Worse still, this is overloaded with Irish stereotypes to the point of being laughably offensive.

Still, thank you Netflix for being such a reasonably priced service so I didn't have to pay top dollar for this garbage, though I do wonder how on earth it managed to find its way onto the service in the first place.

Avoid unless you're drunk and feel like watching a predictable "thriller" written by children and performed by card board boxes.

Lower budget films ARE indie films people so no. You won't get a lot of expense so why is everyone expecting so much in the way of "oh, it could have been so much better had it been a big budget film." No. It was wonderful the way it was.

I DO agree with the other reviewer that in no way whatsoever could Jessica Dean pass for 29 years old. She has a blog on Youtube which is fairly recent and is shown with very short hair and is clearly in her forties. Since the film was made in 2010-2011, she would have still been in her forties. Lol They needed a younger actress, but maybe it was a budget issue.

I have to confess this film was recommended to me because of others I'd been watching, so I thought why not. I didn't know any of the actors and after watching the film, I am not particularly interested in seeing them again.

However, the director and co-writer have produced a wondrous story about loss and guilt that completely engaged me. The photography is solid in setting the somber tone and the plot moves at a solid pace into a surprise I did not anticipate at all. Be forewarned, the climax at the end can be disturbing, so approach it with caution.

I highly recommend the plot and the imagery, but don't expect a great deal of solid acting in this otherwise engaging independent film.

When acting is bad you can tell it's acting. All of it seemed amateurish. From the script to the lighting to the camera work. The lead actresses were awful. The ending awful.

I downloaded this film because I live in Kerry, so the title caught my attention, I had no Idea that this film was set in Waterville, which is only seven miles from me. I didn't even know that a film had been made there until I started to watch it and saw the part where it showed the outside of a pub, which is actually "The Fishermans Bar". I was also surprised to find out that a lot of other locals hadn't seen it too. Overall I thought it was good, but maybe I'm being a little bit biased because some of the film extras were locals.
