I realized I had watched this movie many years ago, as we have a lot of Mike Leigh's films, but though there were a few spots that sparked a memory, I didn't recall enough to spoil the pleasure of watching it this time. It is a quiet movie, especially considering that it takes place during the Irish "Troubles," and that seems to have ruffled some reviewers' feathers. Me, I am always up for a slow-paced movie as long as I like the characters and there is some subtle wit and humor included, which this movie had by the bucketful. The only two actors I recognized I like, who were Charles Lawson from Coronation Street and Stephen Rea. They were good, but actually the entire ensemble cast more than carried their weight in this interesting character study. as for those that say nothing happens; well, if you can't get into the mood for a quiet movie, perhaps you should swerve this one and find a juicy body count movie. I would suggest you use captions if they are available. they talk fast sometime in their distinctive Irish accents.
