War of the buttons
Enjoyable but disappointing kids' movie about two warring villages in County Cork. As expected the cinematography, locations, and soundtrack music are impressive. But there's no plot and the fighting turns tedious. It's also confusing as to what era the film is set. It looks like the '50s until a helicopter arrives! Based on a French title this is what most Irish cinema was like back in the '90s. No wonder we never became a strong film force?
