Tara Brady Irish Times Dec 4
4/5
The combustible set-up is familiar: a traumatised family, a contested inheritance and a house rattling with difficult history. But Horseshoe reinvents this dog-eared premise with dark humour... Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 1d
Offering a fresh take on familiar dysfunctional family dynamics, this Irish drama compensates for some narrative missteps by effectively sprinkling humor and charm into a story of grief and discord. Go to Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper Feb 26
Horseshoe is ultimately a stinging illustration of how the death of a parent—even when you’re well past middle age—is another kind of coming-of-age. Go to Full Review Stephen Porzio joe.ie Dec 11
The comedy-drama is the type of warm Irish crowdpleaser that will provoke some big chuckles, while subtly tugging on the heartstrings. Go to Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 4
3.5/5
Some scenes do veer close to jumping the shark, but it makes great use of a committed cast and sweeping Sligo backdrops. Go to Full Review Amber Wilkinson Screen International Jul 21
Although somewhat overplotted and with pacing issues that mean its ending arrives at a gallop, this is a tonally well-balanced and well-acted crowdpleaser. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
