But Pádraic’s repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.
“DEEPLY AFFECTING, WARMLY HUMOROUS, BEAUTIFULLY ACTED AND HANDSOMELY PHOTOGRAPHED”
– The Australian
“AS A COMEDY DUO, FARRELL AND GLEESON ARE MONEY IN THE BANK”
– The Age
“IT’S VISUALLY STUNNING AND CONSISTENTLY WITTY WHILE BEING UNAFRAID TO ASK SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE AS IT IS, AND SHOULD BE, LIVED. IT IS PROPER ART.”
