  1. Loved this movie. Id love to visit the Isle..being English Irish descent..last name Moore. The dogs were the creme de la creme. Ty. There is another movie from there..The Potato Vine Book Club or something like that. Great book.

  2. I LOVE this film. For so many reasons. Please take the time to watch this. If you're a bit Irish, and your Father was an officer, the sound of a gun freaks you out, you love sheep herders and oh, the personality of the Irishman, this is all so true. Yes of course, the film makers and the brilliance of the film crew, simply lovely. Splendid, WELL DONE!

  3. I enjoy this movie every time i watch it except the dog being put down. That breaks my heart but i understand why. The scenery and the culture of the Irish have always fascinated me. My grandmother was Maggie McCarley ,born in 1900.

  4. The "writers" pulled off a neat trick, borrowing heavily (including names) from the excellent 1898 novel by Alfred
    Ollivant, "Bob, Son of Battle" and transposing it to the contemporary 20th Century Isle of Man. That novel is probably the first to make use of English dialect and is a very good story indeed. The movie's title
    was my first clue.
