With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am, this one's for you. Nobody is quite who they seem. Shelve it next to The Station Agent or The Way Way Back. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 12 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Frankie is a car park attendant at the spectacular Giant’s Causeway in Co. Antrim. His friend Cathy and her husband Paul are in trouble. Nevertheless as Frankie always says, "Something will turn up!"
