      Audience Member This movie probably isn't for everyone. I absolutely loved it, but I am familiar with Liam Clancy's legacy. If you don't have a connection to Ireland, Irish Music, folk music, or some other personal link you might find the story a little disorienting. I was introduced to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem when I was about five years old. From day one I was entranced with their music and spirit. This movie looks at this phenomenon through the eyes of Liam, the youngest and last of the brothers. He passed away this past December. The film is moody and atmospheric at times, especially when dealing with Liam's friendship with Diane Guggenheim. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
