Two good Irish movies this year!

A week in the life of a Northside Dublin chipper.

Interesting, well-made and funny movie about various, good and bad, characters populating a chipshop. Rea is the gambler owner who can't control his staff but is kind to the homeless in the area. This movie reminds me of Clerks but is more mainstream. Sexy O'Shaughnessy from Goldfish Memory appears as the crash victim. In fact most of the faces are familiar from other Irish movies. The kind of movie that turns from comedy to violence to absurd scenes. There's no good chippers in Dorset St.

The Halo Effect is one of two good Irish movies this year, the other being Adam And Paul.
