Christy
AroView: A coming-of-age drama in finest tradition of Irish working-class cinema about a troubled orphan on the cusp of an 18th birthday that promises adult autonomy.
But what he will do with his newfound agency becomes held in the balance between his well-meaning but exasperated older brother and a local gang looking to exploit a tough, vulnerable teen. Striking a balance of toughness and tenderness, subtitles are mandatory for those not raised in the town of Cork, where street smarts and gallows humour are part of the survival kit that just might bring some light at the end of the tunnel.
“Christy deserves a place among the best Irish films.” ~Harry Guerin, RTE
