A beautifully filmed period piece. It subtlety introduces the Irish civil war of the 1920s, & adds a bit more to the story for those already well versed in the history. As another reviewer said: "The setting and period were convincing, the sets were perfect, and one did get a sense of menace from the situation. The acting was fine."
I think the problem was in the pacing. The editing could have been a lot sharper, some beautifully filmed scenes would have worked just as well, if a little shortened. It was a poignant, sweet, painful story, & I appreciate it making it's contribution to our understanding of what happened in Ireland.
