A complex film that operates on personal and political levels A psychological thriller about the Irish 'troubles.'

An unconventional film that emphasizes philosophy over plot, which can make for slow cinema, but should be respected nonetheless.

This movie was controversial when it came out. It would be interesting to see how it would go if debuted or written in modern times.

Unusual, yet great, story. Definitely worth seeing.

Acclaimed in 92 for a slightly nuanced take on then sensitive issues, today the Troubles plot seems shallow and the gender theme plain bad
