This movie is fantastic. Taking place on a remote Island off of Ireland, in 1923 during the Irish Civil War. We are introduced to two friends in this very small town where word travels fast. Once the conflict of between Colm and Padraic starts, you can truly feel their uncomfortableness for each other. Colin Farrell's worrying about his friend and what has happened is wonderfully done. Also Brendan Gleeson's commit to try to avoid his ex friend is a sight to see. The supporting cast are very well balanced, adding to the unorthodox nature of the friendship's chaos. Also the very traditional Irish slang and conversations are such a delight to behold that keeps you engaged throughout the whole film.
