Patrick's Day (2014)
Powerfully transformative Irish Film
Patricks Day is a powerfully transformative film that I have no doubt will stay with me for a lifetime. Turning the phrase 'mental health' on its head this film bravely explores depths of conscious to an extent that is rarely seen. Moe Dunford delivers an earth shattering performance as Patrick and Kerry Fox left me contemptuous with her awe inspiring performance as his over bearing mother. Having the courage to make a film that explores topics such as schizophrenia, mis-diagnosis, the right to intimacy and the damaging effects of the abuse of power must be commended and this film, it's maker Terry McMahon and all involved in it deserve every award that they win and more! I can only hope that we will be seeing more of this type of Irish film that gives a voice to those who are subjected to many societal misconceptions. Go Patrick and go Terry!!! You've got so many openly taking about a huge issue in Ireland that must be addressed. Wonderful and inspired work with outstanding cinematography! Ill be buying a copy for everyone I know this Christmas.
