Stunningly acted by Liam Cunningham and Orla Brady as the Cloneys.
An Irish drama that's a lot more sly and a lot less straightforward than it appears on the surface.
Will leave you taking sides, whether or not that was the film's intent.
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.
In the end, Macartney and screenwriter Stuart Hepburn decide that love conquers all, which may have been the way it happened but doesn't leave the film with much going on.
Has precious little to add to the canon -- and does so in a highly melodramatic manner.
What saves the film from utter forgettability are the strong supporting performances, especially from Peter Caffrey as the town atheist, and Tony Doyle.
