Who's To Blame?

... for this film not being very well made. My vote is for the writer of the screenplay. The plot, which is minimal, and the dialogue also can vie for which is worse.It begins as a successful Irish writer decides to return to Ireland after living in New York City for twenty years. Why does he do this? Is it on a whim? To "confront" his past? As we soon see, his past sucked and that's why he left.Why did his past suck? His choices, maybe? The pettiness of the town's people? There was nothing very profound or even interesting about this guy's life. Plus, the way he acted, literally, was as dull as a poorly written film can be. His facial expression never changed. I kept trying to figure out if it was his acting or the script. Ultimately, I'd say both.When there's a threat to the main character of violence and retribution it made little sense, besides confirming the motives for which he left the town in the first place. Ho hum...

SO DISAPPOINTING

He ran away again, back to America. Why do losers always end up in the USA? What a waste of viewing time. Good acting, Beautiful photography. Lyrical voice over. Interesting sound track. Fascinating atmospherics. My family is Irish and I have visited at least once a year for most of my life. I feel at home, and more myself than anywhere else. I often wondered why the Irish were so scathing of Irish- Americans. The explanation " They come searching for their roots. Pity they didn't stay and keep them " Well, this is a story of another one who took the easy way out and still isn't satisfied. His brother, the priest, may not be a writer, but he is the real hero.
