This is one of the Catalyst projects. In other words it was made under a low-budget filmmaking scheme of €¼ million. That's a lot of money for such a minimalistic film. Sure it could have cost even less? Set on a beach in Wexford the movie is about a little brat who causes tension between his two parents. Except we don't know if they really are married. After about an hour the movie gets really silly and contrived. There are some good parts to it though: the slow pace; the poverty; the strange scene of the mother floating out to sea; the local girl who never moved away from the area. But the impression is that a lot of the scenes are not done well. I tried to like this movie as it attempts to be different but it got really bad in the last ½ hour.
