Gerry learns his wife is cheating on him and leaves England to take over his deceased brother's business and family in Singapore.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

That the whole should not quite add up to the sum of its parts is no great tragedy; there is enough magic in these meanderings to carry us over the flaws.

Aidan Gillen is so good in this Irish thriller it makes your skin tingle.

Guardian

Lawlor and Molloy's measured, precise style means their film is always watchable, but in some ways this goes over well-worn territory, and the visual poetry is not always matched by convincing drama.

Rated: 3/5

It's an intriguing hybrid of genre piece and interior psychodrama pinned together by ingenious direction and a great central performance by Aidan Gillen.

Gillen's performance is central to this discomforting deconstruction of machismo in its portrayal of loss and hopelessness.

Gillen conveys the anger and anguish of his character but this is a painfully slow piece that keeps the viewer at arm's length.

Interesting setting and characters, but lacking a plot. The film wanders aimlessly, like the central character, and the outcome is repetitive and tedious. Given a story-line, the actors and director could make a good film.

Fairly slow drama about loss, but it's a decent script, with decent performances.

Slow brooding and excellant are 3 words to sum this up. Gillen is excellant as he uncovers secrets of his brothers death and secrest about his brother he never knew. The direction is great and the back drop sumptious

Dull, dreary and firmly wedged up it's own backside. Watch some paint dry, you'll be more entertained.
