Review of Black '47 (2018) by Paul H — 04 Sep 2018
Addresses many of the underlying issues of the famine that are often brushed under the carpet. Sets up like a western. Photography is true to the story and does not pan to previous hollywood depictions of irish stories told on the big screen.
. I Can see how it suits Suits an irish audience but also has a universal appeal for those who struggle to grasp the history between ireland and England during the potato famine. The story clearly and passionately unfolds the depth of depravity and greed in people, the love and loyalty of family and an unlikely friendship steeped in trust and compassion.
The main characters performance was chillingly believable..Would like to watch it again. Would totally recommend.
