Strange I watched The beguiled on DVD last week and now this similar Irish movie arrives? A wounded soldier gets treated by lonely rural women in 1920's Ireland. Sadly, it's the Graham Cantwell school of filmmaking once again: laughable dialogue ("I'm pregnant, I am with child"), cinematography that doesn't suit, bad acting, intruding soundtrack music in every scene, too much story that doesn't know when to end, timid fight scenes, and a complete lack of originality. There must be half-a-dozen movies by now about the Big Houses in 1920's Ireland? All better than this! It's really sad that new Irish filmmakers make this bland, contrived rubbish. If anyone wants to see why Irish cinema is currently being slated for its lack of intelligence here is a good example!
