The confusion of adolescence, the haze of being and the miracle of life.
You could argue it's all been said before and in the next breath say it can never be said too often. There are no surprises here - but there is the resilience to, not only survive but to, find the golden nuggets so often deeply hidden.
A bump along the way requires curiosity, and possibly empathy, from the viewer - but since when was that a bad thing?

Being there.
A smart and funny comedy
This is a terrific film which cracks (craics!) along at a terrific pace with plenty of laugh out loud moments. I saw it at the UK premiere at the Regents Street Cinema and the place rocked with laughter. Super central performance from Bronagh Gallagher with fine support all round. Pretty nifty soundtrack too.
Good Irish film that's flawed.
I really liked this film. The theme and protagonists were real. But the execution wasn't as good. Too feminist to hit the bullseye.
Some Women in society can have it tough, but not all Males are bad. That was the flaw in this missing the balance in this movie.
Coming of age drama and a good story of bonding between a single parent and their child. Funny in parts too.
