    The occasional old timey values are entirely brought into [current year] when these two gentlemen are dished up for the camera like a couple of steamy sirloins 

    One of the greatest ever to do it- with a standard bearer of an exit gag

    Small Things Like These

    ★★★★½

    From climate, ecology, diet, economy, blood, heart, mind- this film holds you at its pulse. Indescribably beautiful design of Irish country during its harsh seasons. Depictions of poverty remind us of a slower and more thoughtful living. 

    New trauma provokes old trauma, and new trauma is often proactively resolved to conclude what old didn’t. We are creatures of this rule, the justice of it is incidental, though that is all we feel, that incidental warmth, through our old trauma, who dully refracts justice into our center, and scars our dark core deeper with the illusion of its warmth.

    Do watch.

    The film left me agitated and uncomfortable with the flesh yet to be peeled from my bones between me and making peace. Really good & a pillar of metaphor for grief & spirit
