A great film dramatising real historical events! Imogen Poots is a genius actress and manages to speak English with a perfect French accent, as well as Aristocratic RP, in addition to some Irish Gaelic! We get great cinematography and production design! The story is told in a nice surreal way in a non-chronological order! One might say, this is a great example of modern day British/Irish nouvelle vague if the term can be applied to contemporary cinema. The film explores important topics and is steeped in left wing politics such as socialism, republicanism and feminism. It is delightful and it has minimal violence compared to most contemporary films, especially dealing with the IRA, which is probably the reason why not many people watched it. Adorable! Thank you, Imogen and the team!

This is a very unusual series! It tells the story of what actually happened with (hopefully) great historical accuracy and at the same time it is not as boring as all documentaries and journalism invariably are. Dramatisation is intense and the actresses are not only great beauties but also fascinatingly gifted performers who move you to tears. You get great dialogue and cinematography, as well as direction, soundtrack and production design! Having watched almost all films about the IRA and the Troubles, I can say for sure that this series is the best to date. Especially given that almost all modern films and especially series are a load of shite. Highly recommend!

A very beautiful example of true cinéma vérité, slice of life, stream of consciousness. It's like Henry Miller's novels adapted by Jean Luc Godard. Loved every minute.
