Tara Brady Irish Times The provincial life, told in delicate movements in a script by Collins and Eamon Little, asks big questions about the nature of happiness. A half-finished garden structure is emblematic of a larger temporal standstill. Rated: 5/5 Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times With a sound design steeped in birdsong, and a spare piano score by Irene and Linda Buckley, here’s a film that unwraps its mysteries slowly, revealing under its quiet surface the human condition writ delicate but deep. Apr 25, 2024 Full Review Phil Hoad Guardian Despite its somewhat diffuse centre, Collins’ film still has a straightforward poignancy, with subtle and dignified performances across the board. Rated: 3/5 Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews It is a testament to a way of life that is now largely gone and a way of honouring and remembering the daily lives of rural communities. As such, the film gives importance to the everyday moments of ordinary, mundane life. Rated: 4/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review A slow steeping in the rhythms and rituals of a community in the rural Ireland of the 1980s, what Collins’ adaptation of John McGahern‘s final novel lacks in incident it more than makes up for in rich character and a gruff, earthy compassion. Rated: 4 Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Sean McGeady Radio Times This is a slow piece of great warmth and sympathy that invites viewers to find the beauty in birdsong, long grass and works left half-finished. Rated: 5/5 Aug 17, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
