Fionnuala Halligan Screen International Belly is a flawed work, albeit one of promise. Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Paul Whitington Irish Independent Shortt and Smiley do their best in two-dimensional roles, but this is a bits and pieces film, full of loose ends and stray plot lines insufficiently developed. Rated: 2/5 Jan 14, 2023 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) It is perplexing to see the release of lacklustre fare such as this dull, uninspired, and incomplete caper that does no one any favours, not least debutant director Morgan Bushe nor otherwise fine actors such as Smiley and Shortt. Rated: 2/5 Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Alan Corr RTÉ (Ireland) This is an unorthodox buddy movie populated by the forgotten people on the frayed edges of Irish society but for all its realism, Bushe's film ends up disappointingly unrealistic. Rated: 2/5 Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Cian Griffin Film Ireland Magazine Overall, The Belly of the Whale is a charming and endearing film that tells a poignant and at times, heartbreaking story of two flawed characters coming to terms with the challenges in their lives.
