Ex-boxer Douglas 'Arm' Armstrong (Cosmo Jarvis LADY MACBETH, PEAKY BLINDERS) is the faithful and violent right-hand-man to the drug-dealing Devers clan, ready to dole out beatings at the whim of his best friend, and the family's unpredictable protégé, Dympna (Barry Keoghan DUNKIRK, AMERICAN ANIMALS). Arm's struggle to find his place in the world has consequences on his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Ursula (Niamh Algar THE VIRTUES, THE LAST RIGHT) as she strives to find a better life for herself and their young son Jack. When Arm is asked to kill a man who has crossed the Devers', his loyalties are truly tested and his attempts to do the right thing set off a chaotic chain of events that will affect everyone he holds dear.

Films are meant to spark reactions. Grief, hilarity, awkwardness, sadness, awe. This has all of those. I thought going down a zipline in Wales was a rush, but at the end of Calm with Horses my heart was beating out of my chest and tears were streaming down my face.

I'm Polish. Ireland is as exotic for me as Burkina Faso. But there are some universal truths, feelings and emotions... this actor, lead character deserves an Oscar. Script deserves it. And director deserves it. I haven't seen movie as good as this one for a long time. Thank you. All of you who made this picture.

This is how you make a movie. Casting, script, shooting, acting all top notch. Soundtrack is brilliant. Despite the darkness there are some laughs. It's tense and unpredictable. Love this film.
