Impressive family drama about an English women (with an Irish background) who is an alcoholic. She works in a cricket club and deals with her son and daughter. Then they all head to a music festival and that's about it! What I like about this movie is that it's funny: Keith Allen says he's Welsh not English, Eileen drunk, the daughter fighting with Eileen, the description of Ireland as a 'banana republic', and the silly conversations about what everyone did when they were younger. Funded by the Film Board it's better than a lot of their higher-profile efforts.
