Brian Henry Martin UTV Any movie that begins with three boys pushing a goat down the street in a shopping trolley has to be worth watching - and it is. This is just one of the many memorable scenes from the terrific debut feature film from Phil Harrison. Rated: 7/10 May 29, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

isla s This is a thoughtful watch - not entirely gripping and the link between the two stories (sub-plots) it covers isn't obvious for quite some time but it is a thought provoking watch by the end. The Irish man in question isn't entirely a great person that you'll necessarily feel strongly about one way or another but as a film its ok. I wouldn't especially recommend it as such, no. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought I knew what was coming, but the two contrasting stories come together in very surprising ways. The South African segments worked best in my opinion, if only because that living in Belfast it was a case of "Oh look, there's such and such!"
