Some commentators criticized the fact that the phrase "mo chuisle", a term of endearment meaning literally "my pulse", and generally "my darling", was misspelled in the film as "Mo Cuishle", as shown on the back of Maggie's robe. It is translated in the film as "my darling, my blood", although an Irish Gaeilge translation site states that it is always translated as "pulse", not as "blood". The original phrase is short for "a chuisle mo chroí", meaning "O pulse of my heart". The film has been praised, for renewing interest in the Irish language in the U.S.
