Lewis Brophy

It's really good.

I don't think it's as strong as Hard Truths, Mike Lee's previous film, but it's very, I mean, it's devastating in how it wraps up his career, I suppose, in the sense that you're like, this is this man's final statement on humanity is quite a... depressing one i wouldn't say depressing because it had a lot of hope and love in it but it's he i think you know the man's first movie was called bleak moments and he ends his final film on a similarly bleak note i think um there's a there's a sort of a cry for help element to it at the end that about caring for the elderly and the sick and the vulnerable that that is that is quite hard to walk away not being not feeling really really kind of like sick and awful about but um great performances in it Cato Flynn is superb and there's a guy called Paul Jessen I believe who plays the the like the father in it who is so good um and and that's a really special performance so everyone will hopefully see that soon I saw the Irish movie Lemonade with um Lewis Brophy and Barry Keoghan which is yet another Screen Ireland funded child leaves foster care and lives independently movie we're getting one of these every eight months now um As they go, this one's pretty strong.

I think Louis Brophy's really excellent in it.

But unfortunately, as listeners will know, Barry Keoghan, an actor I cannot take seriously and did not enjoy watching him play a Dublin social worker who happens to look like Ringo Starr and has Ringo hair and little round glasses.

Um, but, um, This stars a very recent Irish rising star.

That's one of our other talent programs that we do here at Screen International, Lewis Brophy.

It's also got Barry Keoghan in it.

Look out for Lemonade.

Yes, so it's an Irish movie called Baltimore and it's set amongst the political turmoil of the 1970s and a rebellious English heiress joins the Irish Republican Army and takes part in an armed raid on an estate with three comrades that eventually take a violent turn.

Imogen Poots stars alongside Tom Von Lawler and Lewis Brophy.

It's directed by Christine Malloy and Joe Lawler.
