Movie Reviews

Irish Times - 8/10 by Donald ClarkeA Mother is more of a socio-geographical snapshot than an investigative report.
Sunday Independent (Ireland) - 8/10 by Aine O'ConnorIt is not an uplifting watch - but it is an interesting study of what happens when the past remains unprocessed.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by John DeForeO'Shea doesn't really offer enough evidence to convince us the episode is emblematic of this conflict-haunted region.
Backseat Mafia - 8/10 by Rob AldamIt's a documentary you need to approach with the full knowledge that there are no easy answers.
4:3 - 6/10 by Conor BatemanA Mother Brings Her Son to Be Shot, an impressive and intimate look at the impact of paramilitary violence in Derry.
Film Ireland Magazine - 6/10 by Síomha McQuinnThe Troubles may be over but this film asks its audience to re-examine what this means for those who live in its wake.
