Subtle, flawless and sad.
Expectations were so very high after watching the trailer. However, it isn't what you may expect. It won't leave you feeling giddy or glad. It will leave you a bit frustrated, perplexed and maybe a bit sad as hopes for a reconciled friendship slowly fizzles.
The acting is perfect, cinematography is great and the story is unique. This story seems to be a metaphor for something deeper. There are clear references to the Irish Civil War. This is at the heart of the story and most likely inspired the film. Watching this casually I expected a well acted dark comedy, but this is not what you will get, despite the trailers promise. However, it is worth a watch, just be prepared for sad story with subtle hints at more.
7/10 but the more I think about it the more I like it.
