I had really high expectations about this story, hoping the film would deal with the times, causes and aftermath. Covered none of these, in my view was most important to this shameful moment in Irish history.
If you look further , which I did after watching I was disappointed to see this barely scratched the surface of an important issue.
For someone of my generation it reminded me of a story I remembered but unsure if someone in their 30's or 30's would know the story or would understand the times. Wouldn't grab their attention.
I don't fault the acting but overall a missed opportunity by the director and producers. The story, from 40 years go deserved a better telling.
