This feels like one of those classic cases of a trailer making a film look way way more dramatic / explosive than it actually is. It's actually a very very slow burn. I know the intention of this film is to be as true to real life as possible, but just a little bit more drama wouldn't have gone amiss?
Also, just SO much mumbling. Honestly that's my biggest take away. I love a thick Irish accent but pair it with mumbling and it's almost impossible to follow (unless you're Irish probably).
It was beautifully shot, gave me kind of Manchester by the Sea vibes. But yeah overall, not my fave of the A24 films. Found myself checking how long was left, never a great sign!
