Mark is a wannabe actor, penniless, clueless, and inept. He cares for a brother who's paraplegic, and he has a girlfriend, Sally, who wants out of the relationship. His idea of life is to go to the occasional audition, dodge his landlord (having spent the rent money Sally gave him), give Sally a hang-dog look, and talk with Pearce, who lives upstairs. Mark's flat is in disrepair: the kitchen window slams shut, bits of plaster fall from the ceiling, a bulb fizzes, and the sitting-room chandelier sways. When an awful accident happens, Mark freezes, which precipitates additional accidents; he finally calls Pearce, perhaps the worst decision possible. Will Mark come to his senses?

| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierThe smarmily organic execution pivots upon unpredictable flourishes of postmodern reflexivity and quiet nods to the perplexing traditions of Irish storytelling. |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterNo amount of sly, beguiling Irish charm can overcome the inherent stupidity of the lead characters or the increasingly not-funny-just-hopeless situations in which they find themselves. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn often wickedly funny and witty dark comedy that becomes somewhat uneven in tone and eventually loses its steam as well as its bite. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThings after the halfway point move from the ridiculous to the stupid. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesIf Mark and Pierce had been two people whose welfare I cared more deeply about, the film might have carried me for the duration. As it is, they were a bit like guests who stayed too long at dinner. |
| MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalJason Di RossoIt feels like a television episode gone on too long. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonA rather outrageous comedy which knows exactly what it's doing and, within its limitations, does it very well indeed. |
| User ReviewBruno LHilarious! The line between reality and fantasy, fact and fiction gets blurry as the film gets inside the mind of the writer and director of a film. Really good dark comedy. |
| User ReviewDaura MGreat movie. Very surprising black comedy. I think, the best movie I've seen in the cinema lately |
| User ReviewNiamh EA lousy title but a great flick. A very, very dark comedy and Dylan Moran is superb. |
