Scully Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Went to see this at the cinema last night. Wasn’t what I was expecting really, but it didn’t disappoint at all; well worth watching and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great roles by all involved, especially by the ever faultless Brendan Gleeson, but for me the film was stolen by a superb performance by Barry Keoghan.

A brilliant film with some very powerful scenes. Richard Harris and John Hurt played fantastic roles. If a fan of Irish based films and you like Brendan Gleeson, then (The Butcher boy) is another good watch. A young Gleeson plays a minor role but the film itself is brilliant and funny. Both The Field and The Butcher Boy are on youtube as full movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course probably his most iconic role as Martin Cahill the Dublin gangster in ''The General'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked ''The Snapper'' then check out ''The Van'' also featuring Colm Meany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sold on Belfast to be honest.Went to the cinema to see it but both myself and my friend fell asleep during it. Our wives thought it wasn't great either and we are not a difficult audience. Some rave reviews but I thought it missed the mark by a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMc Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Try a film called Man about Dog, not much substance to it but worth a watch for a laugh if anything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or "The most fertile man in Ireland" Not high brow viewing but like Man about Dog very funny if a bit stage Irish in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
