Indeed.
I saw McQueen’s Shame which I thought was brilliant and went back then to Hunger. Excellent film.
Best Irish film for me is easily The Field.
Day Lewis’s performance in My Left Foot is one of the all time greats.
Lenny Abrahamson is a brilliant director in my view. Adam and Paul, Garage and even What Richard Did. Room is a masterpiece in my opinion.
I was never a fan of the McDonaghs. Whatever about Martin, the brother’s effort with The Guard was truly awful. The clips from I have seen of Banshees wouldn’t fill me with confidence but I will hold off until I see it properly.

He was good alright.
I quite enjoyed it. At least it was original and not a movie hero origin story or some sci fi prequel/sequel which is all we seem to be getting now
Unlike the latest lord of rings tv show, Gangs for the most part was historically accurate.
Agree with everything there 100%.Im not a fan of any of McDonaghs movies.
