Well , I just went and saw this film , and came away bemused.

I know this film got good reviews, but is it that good ? Or am I missing something I can’t say Ide be recommending it to anyone or do I not have any taste in film

I was blown away. I thought it was the best Irish film I'd seen in a long long time.

Loved the minor characters more than the lead 2. The character Dominic was so well played.

It's an astonishing film, and Barry is so much better than the two leads.

The donkey should get the Oscar.

But would the Lord Mayor of Dublin give it a civic reception if it won?

He was incredible in it.

And I thought he was crap usually.

Looks like an accurate depiction of 1920s west of Ireland

Yes, very enjoyable, but based on an original Dutch or Belgium series. Haven’t seen Banshees, but the Aran Sweaters are selling like hotcakes since the film became a hit.

Don't think I saw a single white Aran sweater in it actually.

I do love Kerry Condon in it, she was great, as usual. Yes, I would

Haven't seen the Banshee, but I agree with your choice, a beautiful, poignant film, understated and gorgeously shot.

I loved Banshee (I expected it to be overhyped shite) - Barry Keoghan stole the show for sure.

Bad Sisters was great. I haven’t stood up to punch the TV more than in response to The Pricks antics. What a horrible character!

Watched both.

Yes Banshee is over hyped but nevertheless a very enjoyable watch, some flaws in it, ie hard to get a feel for Gleeson's character, beautiful scenery.

Cailín is outstanding and it shows you that you don't need the big names to make a good film.

You may have to search for "The Quiet Girl". It's listed in the English translation on Rotten Tomatoes anyway.

Overrated IMO. You can tell it was designed as a play. Don't think the acting is great, as they are clearly 'acting' in their delivery, especially any line with Feck in it. Good acting comes off as more natural.

Am I in the minority?? I love the movie... Brilliant acting from all actors in a movie which focused in the interpersonal relationships and simple lives of early 20th century Ireland. No fast cars, no guns, no special effects.... epic scenery and realistic portrayal of how life in those days could have been very depressing, where minor difficulties could become major issues with tragic consequences...

Such a pity the dog and the donkey didn't get the nod.....or noddy even.

They could have gone on stage and kicked the presenter in the ass and bit him on the boll*x.

Exactly that, well acted, lovely scenery, well shot... But the story/plot just left me scratching my head at the end thinking "was that it??" It reminded me of a storyline dreamt up in a pub after a few drinks.
