An exploration of friendship, depression, and life in general that is equal parts darkly hilarious and thought provoking. Complex characters. Unique relationship dynamics. Compelling/hilarious dialogue (when you can understand it through the heavy accents, lol). Brilliant performances. Beyond the broad praise, I particularly enjoyed the brother/sister relationship between Colin Farrell and Kerry Condon. Simultaneously wholesome and tragic.
All the positives are somewhat offset by a dragging pace and a conclusion that was less than satisfying for me. Call me sentimental/sappy if you like, but I was really rooting for a reconciliation. Also, I think the film overuses repetition as a proxy for humor. It's still effective in many scenes, but it felt too frequent.
