Daddy Bear's review is excellent. The title character is beguiling, and her dad is convincing as someone struggling to do the right thing. It's an uplifting and at times humorous story. And it's interesting to see a British filmmakers' take on Ireland, compared with, say, John Ford's classic The Quiet Man. The latter has a great many Irish stereotypes, while this superb film has none that I can see. -David Olive, Toronto
