It's a sweet but slight film whose undeniable appeal is largely due to the performances of its flat-out adorable leads.

Seattle Times

A feel-good coming-of-age movie that floats on a boatload of Irish charm.

Rated: 3/4

Detroit Free Press

A likable if ordinary Irish indie that barely squeaks by on the charms of its leads.

Rated: 2/4

Shadows on the Wall

Keeps us involved even after the plot takes some badly contrived turns. Strong characters and performances make it almost watchable.

Rated: 2.5/5

In 2004 there is no excuse for a gay-themed film to be a translucent closet with a cute, revolving door.

Everything an indie movie should be. A true bro-mance between a gay-bro and a straight-bro. Something that happens all the time in the real world but is NEVER portrayed in the movies. Told with a realism that many normal people will connect with.
