Audience Member Take a really long time to get to the point and is filmed just way too dark. Literally at times you can't see what's going on. def a one time kind of watch but not the worst I've seen. lol Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member 40 minutes too long. Too many subplots make the final 'reveal' not so shocking as it should be. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Writer/director/star Jimmy Smallhorne blends a sexual identity crisis with a scathing look at the experience of illegal Irish immigrants in New York City to deliver a compelling though somewhat muddled journey through dark streets, dark bedrooms, and dark bars. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
