John A Honestly, that was beautiful. Nothing wrong with that at all, completely uplifting. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Karen B Ok movie some scenes could have been taken out. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review phil h I liked it but I think it is more of a drama to me as an American. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Alan W Resurfacing on streaming after it came and went from the cinemas in 2022, this is your typically heart-warming, inoffensive (but slightly raunchy) Irish comedy-drama where two different people are forced together on a road trip where life lessons are learnt and an unlikely friendship is forged. Charlie Reid's mouthy teenager Mully has just lost his mother and while running away from his bad dad, Lochlann O'Mearain's James, inadvertently 'kidnapped' Olivia Colman's middle-aged solicitor Joy and her newborn baby whom she plans to offload to someone else before taking off to Lanzarote. How Ailbhe Keogan's script then unfolds is predictable and unremarkable. They bicker and make up, they try to escape each other but all roads lead them back together somehow, no matter how unrealistic or contrived that plotting is, set against an Ireland full of folksy people everywhere. Straddling sentimentality and upbeat cheekiness, Emer Reynolds, who loves an aerial shot and knows how to use them, keeps things moving briskly enough but the only reason why this is watchable is down to the charming and warm presence of its central leading duo who manage to lift the very conventional material up. Your heart can't help but go to cocky yet vulnerable Mully while the very English Colman playing Irish proves that at this point in her career, she can do anything and I'd probably watch her read a telephone book. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Thomas B A pleasant evenings viewing whilst far fetched kept me watching maybe just for the beautiful scenery and the Colman acting! Good to see Tommy Tiernan make a surprise appearance. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Snow O Two low points…..boy “teaching” mid-age mother how to breastfeed …WTF. I love Olivia Coleman but this film was the worst film I’ve seen her in. Absolute trashy storyline mixed with moments of “WTF” …seriously cringeworthy.
