The highest grossing Irish film for 2018
While there's no magic formula to predict success in Hollywood, recent box-office figures have shown that there is a massive audience for those films that cater to people that may feel disenfranchised or underrepresented.
In case you haven't seen the film yet, the story is set in 1847 with Ireland in the grips of the Great Famine that has ravaged the country. Feeney has seen more than his share of horrors, but nothing prepares him for the famine’s hopeless destruction of his homeland. The Irish people have been brutalised and there's no chance of law and order prevailing. Upon returning home, Feeney discovers his mother has been starved to death and his brother hanged by the brutal hand of the English.In terms of its cast, Lance Daly's film is superb with Hugo Weaving and Jim Broadbent starring.
It's also the first Irish film to gross over €1 million at the domestic Irish box-office since 2016’s comedy The Young Offenders.
