Saw it on Friday. Was enjoyable enough but not sure if it would have the same watch back factor as the guard or in bruge?

Some fine performances in it and probably play well in the states.

I've been interested to see the universal positive reviews from the world over. I think on some levels the film only really works (beyond the comedy and just a "wtf" type story) if you know about Irish history. But it's got huge Oscar buzz already which is a bit mad (not saying undeserved, just surprises me). 

Farrell is brilliant in it and deserves a nomination at least, I saw Mark Kermode say his character could be a grandfather of Dougal in Father Ted and that's pretty accurate! 


I'm looking forward to this. If Farrell is nominated would it be for best lead or supporting actor?


Lead. 

Barry Keoghan could get a supporting nod. Gleeson is typically great but I'd say Keoghan would get more noise for his performance. 


Interesting. Farrell has been in some very good films and has really honed his craft since his early years. I really liked The Killing of a Sacred Deer even if every character in it, even the kids, is pretty dislikeable.

Went to see it yesterday. It’s very good actually. Cast are excellent. Barry Keoghan will definitely be nominated as best supporting actor. Scenery is stunning.

Saw this on Monday. Very good film if not quite as good as The Field.

Watched it yesterday thought it was very good, didn't think there were than many jokes TBH and it does take a very bleak turn towards the end. More like Cavalry than The Guard ( thought that was woeful) but a very good watch. 8/10.

Watched this yesterday very enjoyable some cracking acting fron Gleeson and Farrell.

As has been said on the thread the scenery was stunning.

Seen it on Saturday - quite poignant if not melancholy. Leading actors very strong performances particularly Keoghan, nice cameos by Shortt and Kenny back together again. Good script. 7.5 out of 10.

Do you think in time this will be held in the same esteem as The Field or will the hype die down and certain aspects of the film will come under scrutiny in the cold light of day?

I saw it a couple of weeks back and really liked it.  I think in time the humour element of it may take away from it as a serious film.

Hard the beat The Field in fairness for Richard Harris's performance alone.

Haven't seen it yet but going by the trailers, Farrell's accent looks a bit suspect and doesn't seem a convincing one of a 1920's west coast of Ireland Islander. I like Farrell in other films but not sure about his accent on this one. 


Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

This is supposed to be set in the 1920's? LOL
