An Irish reverie, based on a 2002 novel by John McGahern but effortlessly evoking reams of Irish literature from James Joyce to JM Synge and Samuel Beckett, Pat Collins’ film is about nothing but the rain, the sun, the grass growing, the normal stuff of everyday lives… which is to say, it’s also about life and death, fleeting happiness, friends and foes. Lyrical, lovely, and perfectly judged, this one will haunt you.
