"Do you think God gives a damn about miniature donkeys, Colm?"
"I fear he doesn't. And I fear that's where it's all gone wrong."
Set against the backdrop of the Irish Civil War of 1923, off a small village isle of Ireland, a man refuses to speak with his lifelong best friend without any given explanation. That's all you need to know. I honestly didn't know how they'd stretch that premise out to two hours, but I felt compelled throughout. This is a modern masterpiece and one of the best films I've seen in a long time.
5 dreams gone out of 5
Note: Unless you're familiar with Irish vernacular, watch it with subtitles on.
