There is nothing uplifting here, although that's to be expected when the British army is occupying Ireland in 1920 and independence is being threatened. The film is very heavy going and uncompromising at times. Several very good performances throughout, although Cillian Murphy's is the standout. Palme D'Or winner in 2006.
