This’s just an appreciation post for Irish cinema from a non-Irish person. Thank you Ireland.

  1. Probably not gonna get a chance to see this one in the cinema but am definitely gonna check it out when it comes to Disney+.

  2. Waking Ned is one of my fave films ever. I told everyone I know to check it out, but don’t know anyone who isn’t Irish that actually liked it.

  3. If you don’t stop posting on this sub and if you don’t stop bothering me, I have a set of shears at home and each time you bother me from this day on, I’ll take those shears and I’ll take one of my fingers off with them and then post that finger on this sub until I have no fingers left. Does this make things clearer to ya?

  4. I’m irish. But wanted to tear my skin off while watching this. Beautifully shot though! I will say that.

  5. I was genuinely quite Surprised to find out the Mcdonagh brothers are English, dual citizens, Irish parents but born and raised in London. Particularly Martin with the subject matter of his plays being almost exclusively about the west of Ireland

    On a similar note you certainly see the playright background in this film. It feels like a loose adaption of the playboy of the western world(not so much on the plot but the setting)

  6. One thing I would like to see is more town/city films set in Ireland. West coast/island stuff is good an all but I think there is sometimes too much emphasis on that part of the country (especially by non-Irish directors). Nothing wrong with it if done well though
