Movies review: The Wind That Shakes the Barley

http://www.thewindthatshakesthebarley.co.uk/

Excellent. It's a look down the middle of the divide between Collins and DeValera factions. Unlike Michael Collins, it is a gritter film with more realism to it.

Visuals: 9 (beautiful but marred by grainy transfer)
Acting: 8
Plot: 9 (plenty of ambiguities, very good intro to "Civil Wars 101")
Props: 10
SFX: 7
Editing: 8 (slightly slow)

Was nice to see a few socialists shot.
