Cath Clarke Guardian The movie is grounded by a rock solid performance from the film’s co-writer Luke McQuillan. Rated: 3/5 May 27, 2025 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times The ending is sufficiently convincing that it proves easy enough to forgive earlier clunks and creaks. An earthy reminder of easily ignored realities. A tribute to the independent spirit. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International McQuillan is its sturdiest asset, grounding an increasingly complex plot with a centred performance as Danny. Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Harry Guerin RTÉ (Ireland) ...O'Connor's depiction of misfortune, menace, and mayhem is frighteningly realistic and pushes the viewer into acknowledging how desensitised we've become to much of the world outside the cinema. No easy answers - and no easy watch. Rated: 3.5/5 May 5, 2025 Full Review Chris Wasser Sunday Independent (Ireland) Underdeveloped sub-plots get in the way, and Gillen’s crabby hoodlum shtick goes nowhere interesting. But this scrappy, economical crime saga has a big heart. Be patient with it. Rated: 3/5 May 1, 2025 Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper Having made a film that is unsure whether it wants to be a socially conscious drama or a genre film, O’Connor proves to be master of neither.
