Phil D Dec 7 Perfection! We need more films like this. See more Georgan G 10/05/2023 Quite a lesson in Irish history. One of the communist organizers tries to make life better for the poor but is stopped by the catholic church and the conservative government. See more 04/04/2023 A beautiful film, one of the best—culture and new, revolutionary ways of being go hand in hand, it’s clear. See more isla s 09/03/2022 I enjoyed the scenes of traditional Irish dance and the feel of community with the numerous locals getting together to make use of said hall. Of course there is a darker side to the story and it'd be fair to say its main theme is intolerance. There are scenes of violence depicted and I was a little squeamish on ocassion, thats not to say there's especially graphic, gorey scenes present (although some bloody injury is depicted in passing) but its more a case of what things represent, the metaphors at play, the social commentary aspect that I found sobering. Its worth a watch. See more 01/03/2019 Enjoyable but not one of Ken Loach's best. See more 11/14/2016 A saddening political drama. Recommended for those interested in Irish history.
