"The Snapper" may not be the sort of movie that you would usually notice, but it is definitely worth seeing. Portraying 20-year-old Dubliner Sharon Curley (Tina Kellegher) getting pregnant and refusing to identify the father, the movie makes the most of itself. Crappy flicks like "Nine Months" have dealt with pregnancy, but this one is actually interesting. Aside from the fact that it shows working-class life in Ireland, we also get to see how dad Dessie (Colm Meaney) had for so long ignored the female reproductive system - despite his wife Kay's (Ruth McCabe) many pregnancies - but now starts to take an interest in that.
All in all, this is a modern masterpiece. It has something for everyone. All that I can say further is: Erin go bragh!
