The Dry (2022)
Absolutely brilliant
Hilarious, sad, funny real. This drama/comedy about a recovering alcoholic from a dysfunctional, middle class , Dublin family, nearly passed me by.
Every episode is finely crafted.
Laugh out loud at times. Painfully cringy at others, but so worth a watch.
A lot of the characters are a bit over the top to highlight comic & dramatic value.
It's so well acted and scripted. Can't believe this flew under the radar. It's one of the best Irish programmes in years.
Really relatable in some circumstances and not in others, but brilliant.
This is so binge worthy. Give it at least 2 episodes and you will be hooked!
Six Nations: Full Contact (2024)
Above average
It was fairly good. Was expecting to be blown away by it but it fell a little short. Probably down to personal preference but they didn't seem to spend that long on the Irish players. It seemed like a highlights reel of the 2023 6 Nations.
Probably expected more action shots of rugby itself. Some of the interviews with various players were interesting, especially Negri, which gave a huge insight into the Zimbabwean born Italian.
However, other players who were briefly interviewed, seemed to have huge potential but the documentary barely scratched the surface with these, leaving way more questions than answers.
Probably worth a watch but could have been a lot better.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020)
Fairly poor
Traded completely on the original film, (which was very funny). Bar a few funny moments, it was pretty dire and painful to watch. Avoid.
