A movie meant to be viewed with your "spiritual man" as well the physical. I gave a 7 stars rating which I thought was very deserving. There was a lot going on with the storyline. It seemed to me to have two possible movies combined into one plot. The young boy dying was intended for the main storyline. But then there was the IRA story which was pretty heavy and the side story of the young man carrying the pain of Seeing his father murdered. Like I said, a lot going on, but very well blended together.
The acting was very good (9) and the music was wonderful(10) and perfect for the movie. And of course there is the location...Ireland!! I just love Ireland and the people there.
For the ones who likes to have their endings all wrapped up tidy with sunshine, this is not your picture. As for me, I love the ending. It keeps the movie with you long after the credits have rolled.
