Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle 12/14/2001
3/4
An Irish drama that's a lot more sly and a lot less straightforward than it appears on the surface. Go to Full Review
Terry Lawson Detroit Free Press 11/30/2001
Powerful indictment of the lengths human beings will go to to be right. Go to Full Review
Moira MacDonald Seattle Times 10/12/2001

Jeffrey M. Anderson San Francisco Examiner 12/14/2001
A tug-at-your-heartstrings weepie from the sledgehammer school of filmmaking. Go to Full Review

01/28/2012 A pretty decent movie and really sad in parts since its based on real events. A really moving film. See more 09/22/2009 A pretty decent movie and really sad in parts since its based on real events. A really moving film. See more 04/22/2009 ... simple story that tells of the divide between different faiths that can exist even within a culture. It was actually rather scary to see neighbours turn into enemies, blinded by a misguided sense of righteousness and conforming to societal pressure - the heard mentality, bitterness and blind violence that had lost touch with reason... made me question how close we can cut and how uncomfortable we can all get when we scratch on society's thin veneer of racial & religious tolerance... See more 03/29/2009 Very good..based on a true story about the control that a Catholic church tried to put on a small town...and sadly succeeded in some ways. See more 08/20/2008 It's like a PBS version of a movie of the week about child abduction, complete with histrionic, spit-flecked speechifying in quaint Irish brogues. See more 07/24/2007 Really well told TRUE story of Ireland in 1957... and a great soundtrack with the amazing song "Ae Fond Kiss" by Rabbie Burns See more Read all reviews
