Ratings and reviews

This film was brilliant, it was honest, funny, devastating and the characters were so likeable. It had a musical/ theatrical component to it that worked really well with the subject matter. Best film I've seen in a very long time. Acting is flawless, you forget you aren't watching real people, and the Van Morrison soundtrack, be still my heart, it's lovely.

Actors were brilliant but it’s more like a documentary as there is a portrayal of the life as it was for the Irish of different faiths but no actual story line. Nonetheless it was a very well set in the time.

Nice but just ok I agree with the other comment
