One of the better non-IFB digital features. Using the standard Hollywood blueprint of the family gathering a group of grown-up siblings arrive back in Galway to dad Tommy O'Neill's special news. One guy has a secret, another gets involved with two women, while the sister doesn't want another baby. Full of pretty but mismatched faces and dislikeable characters the movie impresses because it gets you to eventually like these people. The expected piano and indie bands on the soundtrack but this time it works! Not too many Irish movies show a Gaelic football match? Also good was the party in the local bar. However, some terrible camerawork where the backlight button gets permanently switched off? I wouldn't push that Kellie Blaise out of bed! Not heard much about this movie from the media but it's out on DVD.
