Based on the Pj Curtis novel, A Nightingale Falling is set in Ireland during the War of Independence and follows two sisters whose lives change forever after they find a wounded solider on their farm. Nursing him back from near death, May and Tilly find themselves falling for his good looks and in fear of his execution and maybe their own, they keep him hidden, like a glorified prisoner, from the Black&Tans. Visually, A Nightingale Falling is far removed from its low budget roots. With beautiful composition and a rather fantastic use of natural light, this movie looks like a million dollars. Combined with some great costume design and incredibly authentic sets and props, it is really a a sight to behold. Unfortunately, that’s about as good as it gets for A Nightingale Falling, save a solid performance from Tara Breathnach. Without Breathnach, this would be a movie that would fall apart.
