Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper The story unfolds like a guileless story for children, and the trouble is that the ideal audience—precocious younger viewers with artistic tendencies—may be scared off by the subtitles. Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International The combination of some picturesque County Donegal locations, toe-tapping music and an engaging central performance from newcomer Edith Lawlor still make for a pleasant, old-fashioned drama that might fare best as home viewing.
