Winner of last year's Best Film IFTA and it's easy to see why! Lots of arty camera angles, serious tone, brief shocks, scenery, loneliness, and a big deal made out of little. What a shallow, dull, and empty film! A man whose wife has died, cares for his tennis-playing kids, works at a book festival, meets a writer, and sees ghosts. Set in the touristy Cobh the most interesting aspect was how wealthy the people there appear! Lots of hotels, cars, houses on cliffs, people in suits, fine food, and polite locals. The rest of the movie is (as usual) ruined by too much editing. Neither romantic, scary, nor even good (apart from the ending). If you want to see a movie with this title then watch the far more impressive Antonioni film.
