      Lyra

      2022 1h 32m Biography Documentary TRAILER for Lyra: Trailer 1 List
      100% 6 Reviews Tomatometer Raised in working-class, war-torn Belfast, Lyra went on to highlight the consequences of the Troubles, seeking justice for crimes that had been forgotten since the Good Friday Agreement. Her murder by dissident Republicans the day before Good Friday in 2019 sent shockwaves across the world. Using hours of voice recordings from Lyra's own mobile, computer and Dictaphone the documentary, which won the Audience Award at the Cork Film Festival, seeks answers to her senseless killing through Lyra’s own work and words. The result is a complex picture of Northern Ireland's political history, bringing into sharp focus the ways in which the 1998 Good Friday agreement -- with its promised end to violence for future generations -- has struggled to be fully realized.

      Julia Raeside Times (UK) A profound and careful feature documentary... Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Anthony France London Evening Standard This documentary about murdered journalist Lyra McKee is so sad. It comes from nowhere to rip out your soul. Rated: 5/5 Apr 17, 2023 Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times ... A tribute that feels both personal and vital — as much an introduction to an extraordinary person as it is an elegiac reflection on a life violently cut short. Rated: 4/5 Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Chris Wasser Sunday Independent (Ireland) It's a wonderfully crafted piece of work that, through Lyra's journalistic endeavours, allows this talented writer to tell her own story. Essential viewing. Rated: 4/5 Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Paul Whitington Irish Independent Alison Millar’s documentary refuses to focus on McKee’s martyrdom and instead gives us a sense of who she really was... What emerges is a picture of a dynamic, talented, caring woman who had so much more to say. Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
