Brilliant fun, laughs, charm, drama, & characters you care about.

Watched it 3 times and going again, this is just loads of fun. Shows off some of the best of Sligo. Colm Meaney and Art Malik lead a strong and quirky cast with Many great bit parts, lots of distinct personalities in the mix, a culture clash comedy that offers hope and the humanness of us all.

There are running themes of serious issues bubbling under the surface always at play, unemployment, diverse new communities, family and home versus travel...

Brilliant ensemble performances in montages. Mark O Halloran and Conor McDermottroe deliver a story that has layers and is touching yet very very funny. Kylie Minogue song was written especially for the film. Sligo's mystical landscape is revealed in lovely cinematography.

Trivia
The graffiti mural of the coloured pony digging in his heels on the wall of the abattoir with the caption "You don't understand, I'm not a cow" is a reference to the recent horse meat scandal in Ireland and the UK.

Quotes
Martin Logan: If it's true renderers we need, Lorraine has to be one of them.
Amir Aziz: But Mr. Logan, she hardly seems stable.
Martin Logan: Oh, she's not. But believe me, Lorraine is one of the best renderers we ever had, she's savage with a knife. Gifted like, you know. Take a note, we have to make sure she's s till not self-medicating.
