It’s a little rough around the edges but there’s no denying the film’s unflinching potency.

4/5

While it could definitely have done with some minutes being lopped off its two-hour runtime, there is some superb work on display here, from the excellent ensemble (led by Earley and Roe) to the set-up’s tangibly gritty social-realism.

The Black Guelph is an excellent dark journey down a dead-end street with a stark view of what looks over it all.

For fans of Love/Hate and Cardboard Gangsters, The Black Guelph will satisfy your craving for an Irish crime drama, however, Dan’s heart-rending story will be grabbing your attention more than the shady life of Kanto.

All in all, this is a film that offered no decent character arcs, whines and moans at its own insufferable content and was mostly just a waste of time.

I really enjoyed this movie, it kept my Intrest for the most part. Good acting, a couple of different stories throughout and they don't all have happy endings. A few long silent moments in it that could be taken out. That might take another 10 minutes off what is otherwise a pretty decent movie.
