Title: An excellent depiction of a painful part of Irish history
Review: I found this to be a beautiful film, about a painful part of Irish history. I had an great uncle who what killed by the Black and Tans. I have to admit, I was not that familiar with this time period. I felt a great sympathy with the oppression they had to deal with, and the film gave an insight of what has shaped the Irish character. It also, made me understand, the character of my family of Irish heritage.I have to admit, I had to watch this twice, in order to make sense of the Irish accents. When I suggested, my mother watch this, she said the accent was very similar to my grandfather, who had passed away before I was born. He lived in Ireland during this period of time, so I would say it was a very authentic film.This film really struck a chord with me, maybe because of my Irish heritage, but I would recommend it to anyone who would like to get a sense of the real Irish struggles, through this very authentic depiction.
