Kings
A time past - Pat Short
I saw the film last night in Montreal (French Canada) and was amazed at the way Irish flowed from the actors like French from the Francophone person sitting next to me

A brilliant unmissable film - siobhan o'm
I certainly dont agree with Gavin Burkes review, he sounds like a complete idiot. I read that this film is up for an Oscar in the best foriegn language section, and rightly so. It is moving, funny,... MORE

Universal story - Roisin Dubh
I must say I do not agree with Gavin Burkes review. I saw this film in Sligo, by coincidence as I was going to a hollywood type film but on a whim decided to try something different. It was something... MORE

Depressing but Excellent -
Great film. Very depressing but it was never going to be upbeat given the subject. It didn't go overboard on the whole drunk/poor Irish in London scene but told a very good story with really good... MORE

A very rare thing these days, not the fact that it's Irish and good but it's almost entirely in Irish with English subtitles. The film starts off in Conemara in 1977 where six friends go to London in... MORE

Mostly Irish - Siobhan L
I think the last movie I saw made in the Irish language was Poitín in 1979 and this is welcome all the more because it is well made. The story is an ordinary Irish story - 6 lads leave... MORE
