Donald Clarke Irish Times Its grim sincerity and its singularity of voice set it out from the pale crowd. Rated: 4/5 Feb 5, 2015 Full Review Michael J. Casey Boulder Weekly Patrick's Day is a solid movie - Dunford's naturalistic performance is a highlight - with McMahon painting a personal and affecting picture of these characters. Jun 22, 2019 Full Review Patrick Townsend Film Ireland Magazine While it takes its time to find its focus, Patrick's Day is ultimately a fascinating portrayal, and subversion, of love, relationships and parental bonds. Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Paul Whitington Irish Independent Patrick's Day has Hitchcock-ian overtones, especially when Patrick's mother tries to persuade him that Karen was a figment of his imagination. And while not everything in it holds together, Walker and Fox are very good as the warring women. Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2016 Full Review Bill Brownstein Montreal Gazette Terry McMahon avoids the usual stereotypes in dealing with mental illness and brings a certain dignity to sufferers who aren't generally afforded such treatment on screen. Credit must also go to Dunford, Walker and Fox for not holding back on any level. Rated: 3/5 Mar 3, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Laurie S As an ex mental health worker I can catagoricaly say it is very rare that someone is born with schizophrenia. It is a condition, like psychopathy, that is manifested through bad parenting where the child is unable to form a meaningful and caring and healthy relatonship with its caregiver. Thus, we see here how unhealthy the guy's mother is pretty well screwed up herself and he is the end result. The acting was very good and it was a good film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly uplifting film despite its narrative dealing with mental illness and forbidden love. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is very well done. It starts annoying and moves into sappiness but don't get fooled, it is top drama in a personal scale. The same mentality dictatorships employs is applied in this familial misadventure. There are parallels with horror movies. The fight for revolution. The liberation. The climax and anticlimax of freedom. All elements are well put together to follow a terrible arc. Love is not what we think, hate is not what we think. Stupidity is everywhere and not always only where it is obvious. Insanity and psychopathy float and affect all the protagonists. Our hero is the one stamped retard but he is the one with the heart in perfect order. Terrible story and our hero must overcome the most omnipresent and ominous evil of all: his mother. He will be damaged before she outgrows her own insane stupidity. The film would gain if it had subtitles. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A terrific lead performance from Dunford. An extremely disturbing drama that at times plays out like a psychological thriller. Heavy going, slow paced a gut-wrenching portrayal of mental illness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member the shot of them connecting, but film is too slow and too depressing Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best of the year. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
