Mark Kermode Observer (UK) That the whole should not quite add up to the sum of its parts is no great tragedy; there is enough magic in these meanderings to carry us over the flaws. Rated: 3/5 Sep 29, 2013 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Aidan Gillen is so good in this Irish thriller it makes your skin tingle. Rated: 4/5 Sep 27, 2013 Full Review Andrew Pulver Guardian Lawlor and Molloy's measured, precise style means their film is always watchable, but in some ways this goes over well-worn territory, and the visual poetry is not always matched by convincing drama. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2013 Full Review PJ Nabarro Patrick Nabarro It's an intriguing hybrid of genre piece and interior psychodrama pinned together by ingenious direction and a great central performance by Aidan Gillen. Rated: 4/5 Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue Gillen's performance is central to this discomforting deconstruction of machismo in its portrayal of loss and hopelessness. Rated: 4/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) Gillen conveys the anger and anguish of his character but this is a painfully slow piece that keeps the viewer at arm's length. Rated: 3/5 Sep 27, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Very slow, very little story line, would not recommend... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting setting and characters, but lacking a plot. The film wanders aimlessly, like the central character, and the outcome is repetitive and tedious. Given a story-line, the actors and director could make a good film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairly slow drama about loss, but it's a decent script, with decent performances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow brooding and excellant are 3 words to sum this up. Gillen is excellant as he uncovers secrets of his brothers death and secrest about his brother he never knew. The direction is great and the back drop sumptious Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member No plot. Slow. And what was the point of the snake. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull, dreary and firmly wedged up it's own backside. Watch some paint dry, you'll be more entertained. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
