Was lucky enough to catch this at the Galway Film Festival in '98 on a trip back to the old country.
I don't give many full length movies a 10 out of 10 score but remember this is a short feature, and for what it is it's "brilliant", as my Mom used to say. If it wasn't for her Dublin accent I probably wouldn't have understood a lot of the movie (some of the slang went over my head), but the story is solid, well-conceived, well-told, and well-presented. I would have guessed the writer was pleased with the director and editors' result, but when you realize they (writer director and editor) were all actually the same guy it makes a lot of sense.
If you can, check it out. But will this ever be released over here? Maybe not without subtitles! ;)
