i could not stand the woman who play the mother . i want her to shut up . she have a bizarre manner of speaking and the line she be give to read do not make it any good . i have no idea why the men of the town be so take with her to cause all these problem except that in a town populate by men she seem to be the only woman over ten and under sixty . even after a terrible tragedy her voice be devoid of human emotion and she seem to have no ability to grasp the event of her life . she deliver her line with the same emotion whether she be say i love you and i hate you and the bank be foreclose and my dress be on fire . be this actually film in ireland . the sun blaze throughout the movie and the character seem surprised by a rain shower during the harvest . i live in ireland during the summer of 2002 and the wet summer in a century . most everything be still harvest . if the farmer in ireland could only harvest during long dry stretch then the country would have starve hundred of year ago . it seem a if there wasn not a lot of money to make the movie . the black and white flashback look a if they be film with the security cameras one can get at sam club .
