User Reviews

Excellent. Naughty Eamon will leave a lasting impression

I really enjoyed this film's dark and disturbing humor. Eamon is a six year old boy who is obsessed with his mother and competes with his sexually frustrated father for her sole attention. When the three go on holiday the competition gets increasingly dark and twisted and the family seem doomed by their dysfunction. A well crafted film, it's unpredictability make it gripping. The little boy 'Eamon' is a unique and disturbing creation that you wont forget easily.

'Eamon' is an Irish film with a small budget but don't expect it to be the new 'Once' as this is very different. I think the performances are great and although the film's creator might be a bit sick in the head she is a serious talent indeed. Bravo. Go see it. I could see this film being a little cult hit
