    Really good indie film.

    Really good little Irish indie film. Interesting characters and great setting. Good story and good acting.

    I really liked it

    Enjoyable,made a change from the US over hyped stuff.

    Excellent indie film with an undeserved low rating

    This is a fantastic film for the genre. The characters are all strong and believable, the sets and environment spot on. Ignore the rating and give it a watch. Don't expect CGI and cliched chewing gum for the brain, this is an emotional story of peoples lives that is relatable in many ways.

    Keep it real

    Not a film for people with attention deficiencies. Fans of marvel look elsewhere. Nice to see a credible film for a change.

    Grim reality

    Recorded this as it looked interesting. This is not an upbeat film, more about a troubled teen returning to a town that feels as though it has been left behind. The backdrop of rural, small town life with little to do and no prospects are well portrayed. A little glimmer of hope as the relationship between the two main leads develops. Worth a watch as it challenges you to make sense of it.
