Saw this film in Ireland when it came out and loved it then. Found it again on Amazon and I still think it's a great film. It is touching without being mawkish, wryly amusing. Makes me glad I'm half Irish!
Interesting introduction to Lorraine Pilkington, lovely girl and a talented actress.
The setting is perfect, faded gentility in an Ireland becoming more sophisticated. Some comment on the politics of both church and state, poking gentle fun at both. Not deeply intellectual, but fun without being facile.
If you like to see genuine human interaction, skilfully portrayed, you will love this film, now something of a period piece.
