This film was made near my home village and like most Northern Irish films, it was a totally disappointment, as it simply pampered to the Americans on every level. The acting was horrible, the cinematography was film student quality and even the transfer of the footage looks like the film was shot with cheap camcorders. It made the people of Ireland look like drunken unemployed morons who still live in white washed cottages... talk about being stereotyped. When one compares this to "Six Shooter" (another Oscar Winning Short Film from Ireland)... one has to question the merit of the selection process of the Oscar.... A load of bland, uninspiring rubbish!!!
