Title: like The Snapper
Product review: The Playboys is a very good drama about village life and how everyone is up on everyone else's business--the typical smalltown denizens. When you have little, it is very important to make sure that those who don't live according to accepted dogmatic rules are kept in close inspection by those who think they don't have secrets to hide.Robin Wright plays the put-upon unwed mother with strength and truth. Aidan Quinn, the traveling player who is smitten, and Albert Finney, the local cop who insists on being the fierce protector, put in their expected great work.I believe the film is Irish and that makes it quite fine. Foreign work is always of a finer caliber, minding better the ways that people think and react to life's difficulties without chewing on the scenery.
