Paternalism, heritage, and the generational trauma cycle through the cultural prism of Ireland
Tale
An Irish shepherding family thrust into battle on several fronts: internal strife, hostility within the family, rivalry with another farmer.
69TH CORK FILM FEST – #3 (PREMIERE + Q&A)A fast-paced revenge film that never has a dull moment that somehow manages to pull of the impossible, in my opinion
Paul Mescal and Tom Burke were originally cast in the lead roles but both ended up dropping out after the project was stuck in development and were replaced by Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott..
Both do so much more with their respective roles than anyone else
The entire cast do a fantastic job, but the standout would have to be Nora-Jane Murphy, Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbot (who's accent is unreal for an American).
The themes of abuse, violence and the inability to properly communicate are very welded in here
They are also very current in our world at the moment, so they really spoke to me.
I'm very excited to revisit this one on general release
