Paddy was the weakest actor
The film is lovely and has some extraordinary performances from old pros Morton and Honsou, and especially the two young girls. But the one performance that stood out for the wrong reason was Paddy as Johny. He was wooden at the best of times and cringeworthy when he tried to emote - the scenes where he 'gets angry' and starts pacing up and down doing karate chops opposite Honsou was awful and cat-hissing? He tends to come out of character opposite the young girls scenes as though he were an acting teacher, encouraging them, rather than truly responding to them. Often blank, often wooden. He is charming though and that Irish accent is lovely to listen to, but hes the weakest actor in this ensemble.
