Karl O @GalwayK Dec 15, 2024 A story of the self discovery of two very different women from different generations different worlds. But are they so different? Who cares? Of course all written, directed & edited by a man. If the movie was just all footage of the West of Ireland I’d have enjoyed this much more (not difficult). See more Read all reviews
