Yes yes yes. Loved this film and cried because it was so beautful. treats music not as performance, but as cultural memory. Feels less like watching a life story of Joe, more like for 100 mins you're inhabiting a world that mostly doesn't exist anymore. The monochrome cinematography is gorgeous, and the tempo is quite slow, allowing you to take in all the details each scene has to offer.
Obvs the music had me sobbing cause Sean-nós has me in a chokehold lol

Decent watch. The acting is great from all and the portrayal of mental health difficulties is done really well. 3.5 stars as I felt lack of depth in some of the characters stories

The best representation of I've seen of modern day Ireland on film, particularly the north of Ireland. As a 98 "peace baby" from Derry, trying to explain the feelings you have towards the language, culture, history and politics is quite difficult. This film represented that in a way I couldn't put into words. GRMA 💚💚
