    Stunningly acted by Liam Cunningham and Orla Brady as the Cloneys.

    While the film's exploration of Irish religious intolerance takes it to many familiar areas, the specifics are unfamiliar and fine performances -- especially those of leads Cunningham and Brady.

    Has precious little to add to the canon -- and does so in a highly melodramatic manner.

    I've only seen the movie once, and a long while ago, but I remember being blown away by how good it was. The acting is brilliant, you really feel the tension, danger, and loneliness and just anger the characters do. Also, the pub performance of Bobby Burn's poem (beloved Scott-Irish poet) "Ae Fond Kiss" set to mandolin and singing was SO GOOD that I got my mom to use it as a piece we performed in our highschool choir and we got second in the state (Texas) with that on our list. I've been searching for this movie for YEARS and I'm glad I've finally found it, I couldn't remember the title but I'll never forget it, and I'll buy this as soon as I can! This was the first time I've heard that song/poem, and now it's one of my favorites and I still think this movie performance is the best there is though I have many other versions of the song.… Expand
