What we know

After Dubliner Amy’s mum dies, she finds the situation hard to deal with. When a local teen takes his own life, she finds herself tempted by the attention he gets.

What the critics say

• “Five stars… a magnificent debut. Even though he’s tackling a huge subject, Frank Berry resists the temptation to address it head on; like a documentary maker, Berry takes a Ken Loach approach and stands back to observe” – Entertainment.ie

• IMDB: 7.6/10
