Daniel Day-Lewis is as amazing to watch as always in this slow-burn drama that wrings emotional intensity from a narrative in which, frankly, not much happens.

...a poignant, promising project about the stains of war on the soul—in this case, the Irish Civil War...

...is overwhelming in its presence, unmistakable in its promise, and marks Ronan Day-Lewis as a filmmaker unafraid to wade into subjects—violence, faith, masculinity, and generational scars—that continue to shape and scar.

...a miserable movie top to toe, but it’s directed with enough promising skill to suggest actual smarts and talent on the part of its director/writer.

...if it took crazy hailstorms and giant fish to persuade Day-Lewis senior to return – and let’s hope this is a return, not merely an encore – I say bring ’em on.

...is worth seeing for the return of Daniel Day-Lewis alone, as he is a singular artists and one of the most gifted men to ever perform in front of a camera.

...suggests Ronan Day-Lewis has a bright future ahead.

It is sad, absurdist, brooding, tender and intense.

Daniel Day-Lewis is endlessly watchable as ex-soldier living with guilt.

Den legendariska Daniel Day-Lewis är tillbaka efter åtta års tystnad, lika karismatiskt som alltid!
