ThiefHott Too much of everything
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of the love lives of a bunch of individuals in Dublin.It is fun to see a romantic comedy to incorporate both heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual love affairs. It is light hearted funny, but still believable and not outrageous.
ibetnoonehasthisname This steaming pile is the reason that there's no Irish Film industry. I swear to you, I have seen better acting in Primary School plays, Sean Campion in particular is atrocious. it speaks volumes that the pinnacle of his career has been Hollyoaks. Absolutely horrid, every line he utters sounds like a Kerrygold commercial.Low-budget or not, this film is also poorly shot and poorly directed, the whole thing looks like an episode of Nationwide. The lighting in particular was awful. Like I said, a low-budget is no excuse for substandard work. Because the whole film relied on natural or available light, light bulbs shine far too brightly as the camera compensates for the darkness of the scene, and it just ends up looking cheap. The creators were also obviously far too proud of composing the shots carefully as they lingered on them for so long. Slow edits, and poxy camera movements that come off as cheap...I mean, they even used that cross-dissolving sex scene gimmick twice... Then they just got trigger-happy with Dutch angles. It really says a lot about this film when it bears one of the hallmarks of the Batman TV-series...There's just so much crap here to sift through, I won't go into the wafer-thin characterisation and the fact that almost every character can become gay. They may be straight for most of the film, but all it takes is a wink and a few drinks and BANG! they're gay! And its not funny. Despite what anyone else here says, its not funny in the slightest, unless you find double-takes and shocked faces funny. I don't. And thats because I'm not 10. Or an idiot. If this is a comedy, then a bebo page is a literary masterpiece. Then again, the bebo generation probably thinks this film is "class"....
sogorj "Goldfish memory" is probably more than what is usually labelled"love movie". The multiplicity of narrative layers and the intertwining of the characters' fates seems to remind of a soap opera scenario at times but the actual reflection on love, presented by the director is probably more sophisticated than the scheme of a soap.In the end, all seems to come down to The Beatles: "All you need is love", even if you don't realise it.A simple but not simplistic phrase, even though used and abused for millennial. One need not be enthusiastic about the movie altogether, the way I wasn't, but perhaps it would be worthwhile to sit back and think if it's really just a movie and how does it fit our idea on emotions.
Martin Sinnott (martin55) A great modern film from Dublin. No murders, robberis just humour. Dublin is filmd at its best. The story line comes together. Sit back and have a laught. The actors put in great proformances and work well together. The stort line reflects modern life in Dublin. This film deserves to be seen world wide.
