> the Irish charm of the setting and characters

I find Irish people perfectly charming, but when it comes to the themes of Irish film and literature, charming does not oft spring to my lips. Did you watch this film to the end? warmed the cockles of your heart did it?

I was really down after I left the movie. It was unexpectedly one of the most depressing movies I've seen, right down there with The Reflecting Skin, Irreversible and Black Rain. It is a good movie, and I'm pleased that there's room in the public attention for movies like this, but the way that people talk about it I wonder if we even saw the same movie. I'm in no hurry to watch it again.
As I said not for everyone, I watched it to the end, not sure why you are implying otherwise.
>not sure why you are implying otherwise

i didn't imply anything, I literally asked, and more importantly, in a rhetorical sense as a lead-in to what I said after.

my comments in my opinion, like the film in your opinion, are not for everyone, only for people of superior taste.

> only for people of superior taste.

I'm not taking your bate soz.
