Dublin Crust (2023)
Punk with heart
Dublin Crust gives us a great mix of punk, nostalgia, and relationships.
You've got everything here, from laughter to tears. The beginning and end scenes contrast heavily but there's one thing that every scene has in common - they all have a lot of heart.
The characters are flawed and yet there's a lot of warmth to each of them - you'd happily befriend them all (yes, even Bernard!). There is a constant theme of people trying to better themselves, and able to do it through the support of others and a generous helping of punk attitude. The message I picked up on: Punk isn't dead and cherish your relationships.
More films need to be made with more heart less thought on profit. Watch it, enjoy it, feel it. Then get the soundtrack stuck in your head 🤘
