A two hour film has to have a lot to keep my attention and this film didn't do it. Ireland is beautiful and was really a character of its own in the film. The script seemed to lose focus and just dragged on and on especially in the middle, I found myself checking the time.
The great Vanessa Redgrave as Mrs Sweeney was excellent as always and there were some very good Irish supporting actors throughout. The two leads weren't that good overall, in some scenes they did better than others but weren't natural actors. I didn't detect any spark of chemistry between them.
With a better script and better leads this would have been a much better film.
