Make yourself at

home with an Irish film

Words: Jason Coyle

Picture the scene: it is Christmas night. The idea of flicking through TV channels to find something to watch does not appeal. You consider DVD’s and box sets but they are packed away neatly in a box somewhere. Chances are you really don’t want to spend hours searching through VOD services trying to find that one film you want to watch. Search for too long and you will end up watching nothing. The fact that you read this fine publication means that an Irish film may well figure high on your list of interests. This is where your humble (mini) reviewer comes in. Not only is there a recommended list for you but crucially where you can find them. I have rated them out of 5 stars for information purposes but you really can’t go wrong whatever you choose. So get yourself a turkey sandwich, a glass of nice whiskey and enjoy!
