Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumClassic genre movies may be a scarce commodity, but this gutsy crime thriller and female buddy movie qualifies in spades.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksThe Playboys is low-key and disarming, and its appeal sneaks up on you.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Hal HinsonA movie of surprising charm and resonance.
Variety - 6/10 by Variety StaffThis familiar pattern of headstrong girl and passions brimming beneath the surface is well directed by first time Scottish helmer Gillies MacKinnon, though the pace slows in middle reels as plot gives way to the troupe's enjoyable stage performances.
Time Out - 6/10 by Geoff AndrewWith time, place and mood sensitively evoked, this is solid, intelligent entertainment, mercifully free of the usual 'Oirish' clichés.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertThe movie seems determined to match our expectations, instead of challenging them.
User Review - 8/10 by Amy TInteresting roles for Aiden and Robin... not enough build up to their relationship. Albert Finney is a great bad guy!!!
User Review - 8/10 by Amanda CLove it, She stood to her guns adn refused to be shamed into marriage to a got for nothing wino who jus didn't get it didn't get love .
User Review - 8/10 by Julia SReally nice story about the problems within an Irish community.
User Review - 6/10 by Maureen BThis is a decent little movie focussing on love triangles and values in a rather rigid, days gone by Irish community. It all plays out well but with little surprises.
