What to Know

Critics Consensus

This comedy is too slight to leave an impression, and its attempts at whimsy are not as funny as they could have been.

Frances H This flick was just hilarious--I loved it! The critics are just nuts and don't like anything that doesn't leave you depressed for weeks! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/19 Full Review eamonn d watched this with the boy, the 1980's NI stuff mostly went over his head, still plenty for us both to laugh at Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It is interesting to see how religion and politics are weaved in this Irish comedy about pedaling wigs. Lackluster still and forgettable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It is interesting to see how religion and politics are weaved in this Irish comedy about pedaling wigs. Lackluster still and forgettable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A interesting plot with a good screenplay, nice actings, just like Levinson's direction, An Everlasting Piece, is a unforgettable film, entertaining and funny. Fresh. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member To be able to find humour when life looks bleak has to be a true Irish talent and this film is a great example. A little slow in parts but definitely worth a look. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
