Calvary (2014)
Excellent
Brendan Gleeson is one of my favorite actors. He was amazing in this movie and carried the script superbly. There was an element of darkness to the movie, with some extremely powerful scenes and a hint of humor, where appropriate. The Irish Sligo coast scenery was stunning with superb performances all round - a must see! Brendan Gleeson is one of the best actors of our generation and the movie is so entertaining. Great to see such a wonderful Irish film doing so well at home and abroad. The actors were well cast and they did a tremendous job for a movie with a limited budget. I liked the fact the script was original, entertaining and well thought out. Chris O'Dowd, Domhnaill Gleeson were all excellent.
The Stag (2013)
Awful
The best part about the movie was the Irish Countryside and it is easy to get a grant from the Irish Film Board. A lot of the scenes appear to have been duplicated from other movies. The jokes were stale and predictable. A lot of the actors were miscast, especially, if the movie was geared towards an American audience. There was little chemistry between the bride and groom and there was no originality to the movie. I felt little empathy for the characters as they represented everything I disliked about the celtic tiger. The movie had potential, but needed to be worked on a few months more. The budget was clearly minute, so fair play for delivering a film on such a tight budget.
