Thought this was a "coming of age" movie

Thought this was a "coming of age" movie in which a young boy saves a dog and patches his family together. Good story, until the dog's throat is realistically slashed and we watched it bleed to death. Pointless. Turned it off.

A little hard to watch because its so

A little hard to watch because its so sad, but really great message/story and acting by all.

A reasonably straight forward real life drama with

A reasonably straight forward real life drama with no-nonsense attitude. It might possibly narrow it's audience due to the strong Irish accent, but this is one of the many important ingredients that make, what could be a very average film - really good. Some inspired British style camera work together with a Dub-Celt soundtrack really give this film it's feel. And it all seems plausible, but not predictable. What does work particularly well is how each character and sub plot seem carefully balanced with their own importance in the storyline, nothing is wasted or filling time. Natural performances from all the small cast and a surprisingly good combo of Carlyle & Anderson adds a close personal feel and keeps this story easy to contain. If you don't mind a bit of swearing and kids smoking then this film is great for all ages and generations.
