5.0 out of 5 stars An Everlasting Piece, December 25, 2000

By 

Patricia Claire (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This is definitely one of my favorite movies! I saw it when it was released at the Virginia Film Festival this past Fall & I LOVED it! We got to hear the writer, Barry, talk about starring in his own movie & the filming process - he's such a cool guy & I hope he gets some great deals after this first, fabulous, performance! The most incredible part about this film was the setting of Northern Ireland. My family had two Irish children stay with us one summer & they talked about living in such an intense atmosphere. This film made that tension apparent - but all the while there was a very comedic, human side that came alive & was truly endearing! I just can't say enough positive things about "An Everlasting Piece". I loved it & I really hope this movie is a success!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dead on!, November 25, 2003

This review is from: An Everlasting Piece (DVD)

Having spent quite some time over the past 25 years or so visiting friends and relations in Northern Ireland, my reactions to films that deal with the place run along a continuum of "Dead Awful-Dead On." This film takes a silly little idea and winds it up into a metaphor for all those people who attempted to carry on with their lives, surrounded by and in spite of The Troubles. It's loaded with inside jokes that those who attempt to bridge the divide will recognize and respond to immediately. I absolutely love this film, which tells us more about the people of Northern Ireland than all the useless politicians combined. Besides, this is one very funny film. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good piece., February 1, 2001

Over all I thought it was an entertaining and enjoyable film. Very well written. Hats of to McEvoy. I did how ever feel the film lacked a little in the direction. In my humble opinon I feel the film ran a little slow. And it would have been nice to see Dreamworks put a little of it's impressive movie muscle behind this small flick. A good view.
