This movie is awesome. There seems to be some negative reviews due to this film's lack of historical authenticity. But I don't think that such a thing was the intended focus of this film. For me, it really just talked about the basic differences and similarities between men and women in the light of combat. It wasn't looking to be true to life in the case of Ireland, it was looking to convey what the filmmakers think about human nature and war, along with human nature and nationalistic identity. I think this movie is really very good at doing that. It's gripping and quite funny too.

These are the worst Irish accent's I have ever heard.
I've seen 'Irish' films before this, ones made before and after. Thank Jesus 'Juno and the Paycock' was taken on by Hitchcock. Not much better, but nevertheless. Sean O'Casey is such a gorgeous playwright. Brilliant even. My favorite next to Synge.
This is a moment where I tell you to read the plays, and don't watch this hogwash. This was a time where my ancestors were made to be ignorant and stupid because of their old world values in American. The stereotype reigned supreme. I'm embarrassed to watch this after ten minutes. The dialogue of the women in this screenplay does not reflect the stringent culture of the matriarchal society that existed/exists in Ireland.
Ohhh, this movie gets my goat.

couldn't she be bothered to learn an Irish accent for the part? I guess she thought her overacting would make up for it all. What a cheesy broad. "You can't go! You can't leave me like this!!!"
