  Finally a film addressing the epidemic of Irish men being dependent on their mammies well into their late 20s. 

  You know she’s getting DIRTY!

  Had the evacuate because of a fire in the theater but the parts I saw of it were good very heartwarming and comedic. I hope I can finish it eventually.

  On the advice of her witchy neighbour, a widow builds a Golem to help her work the bog. Things go swimmingly until her useless man-child son starts feeling jealous.

  Thank you to the filmmakers for joining us for a Q&A after the screening

  Coming into this film completely blind actually makes the viewing experience better. You wouldn’t imagine a simple plot like this would take that route. Plus, the Irish humour definitely works here.
