One of the best Irish movies ever! There should have been a public enquiry on why it took the Film Board so long to fund these kind of films! More than a decade of funding rubbish until this came out! The best of the Irish sub-genre titles where rural towns are portrayed as badly as possible. A lonely middle-aged man who can't fit in causes himself a bit of trouble when he tries to get along with a local teenage emo. Slow but not boring. This is how it's done. The director studied philosophy and this sets his work apart from the usual stuff made by Irish film-school educated jobbing directors!
