Paternalism, inheritance and generational trauma circulate through the cultural prism of Ireland

Chronology

An Irish shepherd family is engaged in a battle on several fronts: internal strife, family feuds, rivalry with another farmer.

Paul Mescal and Tom Burke were originally cast in the lead roles, but both dropped out after the project stalled in development and were replaced by Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott

69.

CORK FILM FEST – #3 (PREMIERE + Q&A) A fast-paced revenge film that never has a dull moment, that somehow manages to pull off the impossible, in my opinion

The entire cast does a fantastic job, but the standouts would have to be Nora-Jane Murphy, Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbot (whose accent is unreal for an American).

Both of them do far more with their roles than anyone else

The themes of abuse, violence and the inability to communicate properly are very well-cooked here.

I'm very excited to be returning to this for general release

They're also very relevant in our world right now, so they really resonated with me.
