Watched this the other night on Film4. It was deservedly Oscar nominated as a foreign language film (a lot of the dialogue is Irish) but it missed out to All Quiet on the Western Front. Wouldn’t recommend it if anyone’s feeling sad; it’s a typical bitter sweet rite of passage film, but, for a low budget film it’s faultless. It’s basically about a young girl who leaves her dysfunctional family because her mother is having another baby and spends the summer on a farm with a distant relative and her husband and how the relationship develops. It’s quite lovely.
Retirement is it what you thought it would be?
How did you vote and why today
Sometimes it’s just the small things that press the bruise isn’t it? 😢
