    Come on isn’t this just show business cynically cashing in on an actual crisis? isn’t giving this a bad review just like saying you hate homeless people? And don’t we all love homeless people? Would it not have been one of the first thoughts Roddy Doyle had before writing it and lashing it in and out of production for a few months? Rich vs poor tropes + minimalist soundtrack, urghhh I can see the movie in my head already. No thanks!

      “And don’t we all love homeless people?” I seriously doubt you do. You probably feel some sort of anger/rage towards them, because of your deeply held belief that it’s their own fault that they are in this predicament, and because of that they deserve to be homeless. It’s a feeling mirrored by the government and it explains why they will do nothing to help .

        Wow Dav, you went an entire post without saying “blushirts”. Is this the start of a new and improo…no never mind, your post below starts with it, carry on.

          Ahahahaa. You’re hilarious. Isn’t it so much easier to mock dav for the ‘blushirt’ thing than address the valid points he makes. Hah, so funny and witty of you.

          1. postmanpat

            What valid points did he make? I made points about the media being too scared to criticize this movie, then Dav made gross assumptions about my own personal feelings towards homeless people. I don’t hate homeless people or think they brought it on themselves, on a bad day I’m merely ambivalent towards homeless like most people but I don’t hide it like most people, and the media who worse than that, tries to profit from every hard luck story they come across and Roddy Doyle riding this media wave for his own profit. I hate Roddy Doyle for this stunt. I hate the media stories that don’t solve anything , especially with the provocative staged photographs you see in newspapers and carefully selected quotes from homeless people taken out of context to make then seem stupid and rile the heartless libertarians up . As for Dav? he seems like an OCD autist with no real thoughts of his own and who needs to post “Blushirt” every article otherwise someone he knows might die or something. He need to grow up and elaborate more instead of assuming that every bad thing that happens in the world is some kind of culche FG conspiracy out to get him kicked off the dole.

    Blushirts won’t like this, ruins their “recovery” bullcrap and might shine uncomfortable light on their relationships with vulture funds..

    Art reflects life, no? The Killing Fields, The Dallas buyers club, Spotlight, All the Presidents men, for example. I’m not saying its in the same league as some of these, I haven’t seen it, but its common practice to explore social issues, not only historical ones in all art forms. Not necessarily just for the filthy lucre but as a means of examining difficult issues, though as a business I’m sure they’d rather not lose money. Hopefully it does the issue justice, personally I find the trailer interesting but probably aims to be more emotional than informative. Which is also a valid option.

      I think it could be better as a musical or a river dance type production
      Totally agree with pat the postman on this

    “but its common practice to explore social issues, not only historical ones in all art forms.”

    Is it? Jayney Mac. Who knew?

        1. PAul G

          You should go to Art exhibitions where they explore social issues, not just historical ones… loads of booze there. Cheese too.

          1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            I did a LOT of that craic on Thursday nights back in the day. Took advantage of the free booze and cheese.

            So did I Andy. You probably watched and waited for me to go for the third Blossom Hill before draining your glass fairly lively and abandoning the ‘discussion’.

          3. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            I can talk artybollocks like nobody’s business. You know what, Hoops? We probably were in a few ‘spaces’ together.

    Ken Loach has been making these types of films for years.
    I used to go and see them when I was young and impressionable. I don’t anymore.
