A unique love story about something much deeper than romance alone

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2016)

From the rough and uncut opening image and the song being sung, it was clear this was a different kind of movie. So many love stories are about tired and overused clichés that focus on the most superficial forms of human relationships. This is light years from that.
It's about two lonely souls connecting at a level that is far too rarely seen in films these days. Add to that a soundtrack that is full of passion and skill (not to mention an authentic Irish vibe that feels both immediate and vibrant) and it creates an experience that is truly life-affirming and life-giving.
I've seen a few of the "hater" reviews and it's like they were watching a different movie than I did. Just don't get it. To each, his/her own, I guess.
