GEOFF S @RT03796581 Jul 22 Brilliant acting and film work. Always an underlying feeling of dread. Was one of my favourite films of that year. Love stumbling across a film that blows your mind. A must watch See more Andrew H H @RT20067623 08/04/2023 Quite well done, but not a particularly original idea. Storyline a bit of a yawn fest, if I'm honest. See more Peter W @RT12077588 01/03/2023 Overall, this is a touching and gripping film filled with a solid mystery. I truly enjoyed this film, even though it was a slow-burning thriller with moments of touching drama along the way. The performance from Ann Skelly is excellent, and she is highly convincing as Rose. Visually, the film is a delight, delivering plenty of creativity and style to the screen right from the opening act. The finale may seem somewhat basic, but it's still unpredictable, and I found the entire film highly satisfying.

Extremely well acted drama engages you immediately. Wasn't sure what to expect here as I went into this blind. Was very glad I did. This is a gem of a movie. See more 10/06/2021 This film was one of the worst I've gone to see in the cinema this year, attempted art is a fair description I feel, slow paced, boring with an over use of moody music, solemn landscapes and characters staring into the distance. Everybody in this film lives in an impossibly upper middle class world, from the student that can just jet off to London on a whim, to the actress who gave her up as a baby who lives in a London Mansion, and on to the rapist archeologist father who again lives in a Mansion but this time in Ireland. Finally the ending was an atrocity, to take away the control from the female and give it to the male seems ridiculous at this point, you may as well take all the power from the female characters and tell them to get back into their place as the male character makes the final decision and controls the end narrative. I cant recommend this one and will avoid it like the plague when it inevitably appears on our RTE screens regularly over the next few years as they try and claw back their investment money. See more cindy m @CindyCindy 09/02/2021 Plodding pace with an unlikable protagonist makes for a film that's barely watchable. Rose has no personality and from what little we're shown, she's thoroughly unpleasant which translates into a "who cares" scenario. She, like Promising Young Woman, cant connect the character with human traits we can relate to, thus we just don't care, can't root for her or hope for her. I endured to the end but with maybe 10 minutes left said to myself; "Life is too short to waste on bad movies." Click. See more Read all reviews
