Movie #1045 "The Snapper" is my first attempt to watch some Irish films before we visit Ireland in the coming weeks, and this was not a good one. None of the characters were endearing or winning to me --- they all shouted all of their lines. The dad and the pregnant daughter were the only saving graces, and really I liked the father better. Whole film very much overacted, so I wondered if this was an Irish style of acting or what? The movie wasn't filmed well either --- looked clunky in most parts, non-creative choices with the camera, and sound was weak. Lots of mumbling and no way when streaming from netflix can you put subtitles on, so that's not good! All around, not worth watching, and I don't recommend it!
The Snapper1993R94 mins I give this film 2 stars out of 5.
Stephen Frears directs this dramedy about a working-class Dublin family that's thrown into chaos when they learn that daughter Sharon (Tina Kellegher) is pregnant. But by choosing not to reveal the identity of the father, Sharon becomes the target of rampant gossip. Colm Meaney co-stars in this adaptation of the book from Irish author Roddy Doyle's Barrytown trilogy, which also includes The Commitments and The Van.
