Dylan R One of the most huge surprises I've seen in 2024. I watched this while on an ireland trip and it was so funny, so insightful, and just very heartwarming. It's simple but we need more simple movies these days, as long as they're not cliched. The performances are excellent and the humor was spot on. Very deserved that academy award Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Audience Member "An Irish Goodbye" (23 min) has a slow paced start, but stay with it because it packs in as much storytelling and insight as many features. James Martin, an actor with Downs Syndrome, provides a star performance as a Downs Syndrome man, Lorcan, who reacts to the death of his mother with a creativity and emotional intelligence which surprises and surpasses those around him. The best part of this is that Downs Syndrome is not a big thing here. Rather the warm, funny and relatable Lorcan just happens to have Downs Syndrome as a part of his character. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Yash B "An Irish Goodbye" is a very sweet short film that works well in the short story format. I fell in love with the characters very quickly and found myself invested in this sad but ultimately sweet story. It warms my heart to know that this was honored at the Oscars last year and think it is a great example of how to tell a story in the short film format. Overall, it is heartwarming and sweet and a solid way to spend about 20 minutes.
