Negative Positive
Title: Worth the wait!
Review: I have wanted this film since it won the Golden Palm award at Cannes in 2006. It was released in the UK, but not in the North American DVD format. It was finally released in 2007. I finally received it and LOVED it. They could have chosen to show the extreme brutality of the Brits towards the Irish Catholic, but they left it at a minimum (on purpose). The director did not want the "violence" to be the story. Granted, there are a couple cringing parts to the film, but the director could have shown some of the more of the documented types of torture and abuse on the Irish Catholics. Note- This movie truthfully has no "good guys" in it. It was people that had a job to do, as bad as it may have been. Granted, I lean towards a side and the movie does as well. Overall, I would highly advise getting this film even if you have just a drop of Irish blood in you.
Is the review positive or negative?
