" I really wanted to support Jim , because I knew how difficult it was to direct a movie that you 're in , " Streisand said . " I had been with men who were not so supportive when I was doing a movie . So I really wanted to give him what I felt I did n't get . I would get up at 5 and give him breakfast and help him through that ordeal . It was just a very loving intimate experience to live in a house with a thatched roof . " In his book '' The IRA on Film and Television : A History '' , Mark Connelly cites the film as one of the films featuring the IRA that presents its acts as belonging to a " splinter " group at odds with the " official " IRA in an attempt to avoid political commentary , which Connelly argues " grant s a cloak of legitimacy to the IRA by blaming violence and extremism on lone malcontents . " The film was named Best Feature Film with a budget over $ 1 million at the 1997 Hollywood Film Festival
