This arthouse offering is a glimpse into one horrifying and magical day that two abused, working-class kids decide to run away to the big city streets of Dublin.Buoyed by their love and friendship, neighbours Dylan (13) and Kylie (11) steal some money and set off for what they believe will be a life of freedom. What they find of course are the mean streets, filled with Bob Dylan impersonators, security guards and the occasional dead body. Suffice to say it’s not all that easy.
What’s intriguing about this movie is not so much the adventure as it is the performances of the two young actors. If you rate believability as the ultimate benchmark for an actor, these two have peaked at a very early age. If you’re a fan of slice-of-life films, this one will leave you feeling fulfilled.
Rating: 3.5 outta 5.
