I suspect many other reviewers are a little impatient and wanting more cheer in their viewing. So be it. But for this family, this gritty Irish production rewarded us for our patience and acceptance of some pretty confronting activity in the lives of vulnerable people trying to assimilate into a new country. Yes, it's heartbreaking in places. And yes, the frustration of the police seemed a little too real at times. But this is one fine, fine production, with tight scripting, beautifully poignant human moments amongst the filth, and believable characters. Well done to the production team. Sometimes art reflects life more than some can accept.
