Good but confusing movie about a murdered girl and the impact of this on another girl. It's like a social realist film without the rows, ensemble acting, edge, and energy. Set in Offaly where no-one smiles(!) it's similar to the film Helen and the recent Parked, while the second half gets confusing. Lots of grainy night-time footage, repetitive shots of the girl on a bus, working in a factory, and trees over a driveway; this is the kind of film you'll either like or hate. I was impressed! It pieces together the longer it goes on, clips from the TV or newspapers tell the story. There's a good scene where the accused's mother says 'f the begrudgers'.
