Gone With The Twins

It doesn't do anything narratively or artistically creative to set itself apart.

Rated: 5/10

Alan Corr

RTÉ (Ireland)

Property of The State does a very good job of telling a terrible human story against a backdrop of institutional incompetence and fear. It is a very Irish tragedy.

Rated: 3/5

Rated: 2/5
