This year for the first time the Galway Film Fleadh went online. All films and short programmes were available to rent from the festival website and viewers were given 24-36 hours to watch their selected films before they expired. Although the festival organisers might have been disappointed that the festival could not be held live in Galway this year, it was a great opportunity to move the festival forward into the digital age of cinema viewing.
Incredibly dark humoured and funny throughout, the viewer is rooting for the two poster boys throughout the film. Great acting from the ensemble cast of this rather dysfunctional and true to life, Irish family.
The film leaves us with a rather uplifting message; that families need to look out for each other no matter what circumstances they find themselves in. This film is an Irish gem that will have you in stitches. Especially now with pandemics and lock-downs, when we need to stay positive and to enjoy the little things in life. A great escapist movie that packs a punch.
