“The best Irish film in a very long time.”
—The Irish Times
“… A perfect examination of the multifaceted nature of life.”
—ScreenRant
This new adaptation of Irish author John McGahern’s final novel (it was published stateside as By The Lake) is a stately and evocative view of Irish countryside life as lived by two Londoners who are downshifting from a hectic way of life to the breezy ways of the Emerald Isle. This is a gentle, contemplative film that makes us carefully consider the meaning of happiness. Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members on Monday, July 7.
