Why in the world isn't this writer/director world famous?
This is a wonderful movie, and to think it is a debut film. Man. I had seen "The Magdalene Sisters" twice,and loved it so much that I looked up the director, found this movie, and ordered it on Netflix. It startsoff sort of slow, but gathers speed and intensity, and winds up a home run. This writer/director shouldbe working. His NOT working robs me of pleasure. Mr. Mullan, if ever you check these things (and I knowfamous people sometimes do), for the love of God get off your rump and get to work. If you drink stop. Ifyou drug it, stop. If you're just plain lazy, get some gumption. If you've been this good on your first twofilms, you could be a world-beater.Get back to work. Please. (And the actors are great, down to the tiniest part. Just dynamite stuff all around).
