well acted family drama

This is another interesting Finn-Irish film. English dialogue. It is set on Achill island on the west of Ireland and the scenery captured by the cinematography is one of the stars. The story is a tad manipulative and predictable with a quickly malleable, reclusive curmudgeon, Howard (James Cosmo) having a housekeeper, Annie (Brid Brennan) thrust upon him. There is some dysfunction and 'history' in the family and all is not plain sailing. However, the movie is lifted by excellent acting and direction and as a family drama it is better than many around. There is some complexity and pain, leavened by the developing affection of the protagonists. Some discomfort, some uplifting and affecting moments. Definitely worth a trip to the pictures.

Lovely, gentle and poignant

Having just had the all-clear from a biopsy result after 10 days of stress and worry, I wanted to sit with my husband and a bottle of wine and watch something with lovely scenery and a bit of romance.This is a lovely story of romance in later life that gives people a reason to enjoy life again. Very well acted by James Cosmo, a well known character actor for years, shining in this leading role.A grizzled old sea captain widower is brought back to living again hen his troubled daughter hires a local woman to be his housekeeper. Initially reluctant and rude, he soon develops feelings for her, which are reciprocated, much to the dismay of his daughter. The housekeeper, however, has a loving family who embrace the couple's relationship.Some issues are not fully explored in terms of his fractious relationship with his daughter.Overall it's a lovely, gentle film that embraces older people as capable of falling in love and finding a new lease of life.
