Review of Guiltrip

Guiltrip (1995)
9/10
Well worth seeing from a very promising director
5 February 2005
I highly recommend this movie. It gives an excellent view of small-town life in Ireland and shows that it's not different to most countries, especially small-town America. ( "The Last Picture Show"). The characters are well drawn and one can feel the tension building from start to finish. While the actors may not be familiar, the director, Gerard Stembridge, has also made another excellent comedy set in Dublin called "About Adam" (starring Kate Hudson, with a passable Dublin accent). For a beginning director to have made two such accomplished films is remarkable. Now that real Irish films are being made such as "Intermission" this one is up there with the best.
