    • Trivia
      Gráinne's request for Diarmuid to keep driving West is a subtle reference to other films based on Irish mythology such as Into the West (1992) and Song of the Sea (2014) where characters also travel West on a quest.
    • Quotes

      [First lines]

      Gráinne: [voice over] Once upon a time there was a princess who sang in the forest until she could sing no more. Her father was a king who was feared but never loved, and it made him angry for it was Fionn, his appointed chief, who won the hearts of the people. It was Fionn who protected them from their enemies. It was he who roamed the forests, the mountains and the seas. And wherever Fionn went, he was never without his trusted warrior... Diarmuid.

    Cast too good for this disaster of a movie

    There is nothing whatsoever wrong with the premise. A modern take on a mythical tale.

    However literally everything is wrong with the movie. The script is just so unbelievably bad that it beggars belief and the direction is horrible.

    To be fair the cast aren't too bad and do what they can with what they're given, but it's just not enough.

    Brendan Gleeson, Barry Ward, Ruth Bradley - all incredibly decent actors and all far too good for this movie.
