A truly original story based on biblical tales, so maybe not that original? But the interpretation is.
I couldn't fault the directing, every scene seems to be thought out to the nth degree with some very clever results and edits. I was hooked from the start and this film flew past, never a boring moment.
It's interesting that despite the low ratings every written review is highly positive. I figure that the low raters just don't have the intellect or attention span to understand a film without car chases and shoot outs or write anything at all?
The UK & Ireland have a wealth of excellent low budget Indie cinema, add this to the list. The soundtrack is also a plus, some very classy tracks are added at just the right time. Mostly folk/indie/blues, yet the momentary appearance of Can's Vitamin C, a personal favourite, had me singing along longer than the clip lasted.
Irish humour is definitely a thing, as this film proves. Would it be too much of a stretch to make this film a UN cultural site?
If you're thick as a rotten spud or think the pop charts are all there is, avoid. If you're not and don't, lap it up.
