"Best movie of the year imo. This charming and melancholy tale of Kenneth Branagh’s childhood during the Troubles is unexpectedly sweet. Bonus points for a Van Morrison soundtrack "

Meredith Lavergne

"We visited Northern Island recently and were told of the strange lives lived during the troubles. This film shows the struggle to survive and form community when your alliances are tested to the extreme. Told through a young boy’s perspective."

Donna Thiessen

Claudia Henry

"Really well done! Superb portrayal of a sweet family’s survival amidst a very challenging civil war of religions. The acting, impressive sets, and really great music - all Oscar worthy in my opinion. "

"The pacing was nice; the music and cinematography were amazing. It got a littleeeee dull in the middle, but overall, I loved it."

"This is written like a love letter to his childhood, it's filmed like a beautiful photograph your family treasures, and it's acted impeccably. It's perfect."
