I found the movie interesting on how things were in Belfast as I had family from there. Times were not easy for raising families.
Great movie
Set in Ireland during the troubles this is about a Protestant family struggling to pay off a tax bill while coping with local bullies who want to move Catholics out of their area, & don't mind if that means killing people. With two children, the family has to decide whether to stay or go to England (where the Dad is already working) to get away from the troubles. Including Judi Dench as the grandmother, the cast is excellent & while this isn't all sweetness & light, is is well worth seeing.
Truly Irish
