3.5/5

The film lurches forward in stops and starts, rather than with a smooth narrative flow. Still, there is great commitment and compassion here, a sense of life’s bitter absurdity.

Doherty displays winning confidence, visual imagination and stylistic bravura as he elevates a witty but foul-mouthed village comedy into something more provocative and universal.

3/5

There are only so many grim jokes to be wrung from a noose, but Irish writer-director Philip Doherty has a good go with this gloomy comedy.

2.5/5

While Redemption of a Rogue has some wonderful moments, it is also feels compiled from scenes that don't quite join up, or even quite tell us the same story.

3/5

As a story of emotional growth, the film slightly overreaches, but it's entertaining as a collection of odd characters, unpredictable events, funny ideas and melancholy songs.

What an unexpected delight. I just loved this crazy surreal film, beautifully scripted, cast and acted. A little piece of movie perfection

Boring, almost like an Irish version of The Doors

I enjoyed this quirky movie. But, there is one scene near the end that is very triggering for people bereaved by suicide. It could have been directed more kindly.
