Donnybrook (2005)
I enjoyed this film
I enjoyed this film. As an adult and academic its a breath of fresh air to see a young filmmaker expose serious issues such as death, job loss, racial issues and loneliness. These are all topics Clevelanders experience frequently. I usually expect to see movies like Clerks, and Napoleon Dynamite from first time filmmakers. So this was a pleasure and hope for the future.
Hats off to Tri-C for all their achievements and for really making a statement. It is clear that this film may be a little too deep for some. My husband called it "A thinking man's film." I won't reveal much else about the film because it hasn't premiered yet. I will look for it again at the Cleveland Film Festival. Speaking of, I must say it is one of the best programmed festivals around. I've been to Sundance and Toronto and Cleveland holds its own. Go Cleveland! Go Tri-C!

PS - I just love the actor who played the main characters Aunt. She reminded me of my Bebbeh from Eastern Europe!
