Breadwinner, The (2017)

  • Others
  • 2017, Canada, Ireland, Nora Twomey
  • 3 Comments

A girl is forced to dress like a boy in Taliban-occupied Afghanistan to help her family make ends meet in this splendidly animated tale that perhaps relies too much on a parallel account of a mythical fantasy to work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Wolfwalkers (2020)

  • Moore, Tomm
  • 2020, Ireland, Tomm Moore
  • 5 Comments

The best animated film of 2020, Tomm Moore’s enthralling third feature is a masterful folkloric take on heroes and villains, humans and beasts, and the courage to change perceptions.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Song of the Sea (2014)

  • Moore, Tomm
  • 2014, Ireland, Tomm Moore
  • 5 Comments

An ethereal animated feature if there ever was one, Irish filmmaker Tomm Moore’s wondrous follow-up to The Secret of Kells is an antidote to the fast and furious world of Hollywood animation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Secret of Kells, The (2009)

  • Moore, Tomm
  • 2009, Ireland, Nora Twomey, Tomm Moore
  • 3 Comments

Tomm Moore’s debut feature is a visual feast that evokes a sense of wonderment even if it may be narratively slight.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Albert Nobbs (2011)

  • 2011, Ireland, UK

Strong performances by Glenn Close and Mia Wasikowska help to elevate this heartfelt Oscar-baiting period film to something that is worth a watch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Favourite, The (2018)

  • Lanthimos, Yorgos
  • 2018, Ireland, UK, Yorgos Lanthimos
  • 1 Comment

3.5 stars

By turns visually ravishing and psychologically perverse, this salacious and morbidly hilarious period drama strangely doesn’t quite amount to anything significant.

Killing of a Sacred Deer, The (2017)

  • Lanthimos, Yorgos
  • 2017, Ireland, UK, Yorgos Lanthimos
  • 3 Comments

Absurdist cinema taken to the extreme, Greek provocateur Yorgos Lanthimos delivers a harrowing work that is clinical in execution in more ways than one.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Lobster, The (2015)

  • Lanthimos, Yorgos
  • 2015, Ireland, UK, Yorgos Lanthimos
  • 3 Comments

3.5 stars

Bizarre is the word from the latest by Lanthimos, whose uneven English-language debut intrigues and wanes in what is a morbid if deadpan comedy about loneliness and companionship.

Hunger (2008)

  • Criterion Collection, McQueen, Steve
  • 2008, Ireland, Steve McQueen, UK
  • 5 Comments

4 stars

Steve McQueen’s Cannes Camera d’Or-winning debut feature is powerful and astonishing.
