Question for those who've seen it


Saw this last night in the IFI and enjoyed it a lot. In terms of plot, it's hardly groundbreaking and a little unremarkable, but the sheer quality of acting, its cinematography and the nuances of 70s Ireland made it rise above the usual, coming-of-age affair. Ailish McCarthy in particular was excellent as Maeve. That girl's got a bright future ahead of her.

Anyways, quick question for anyone who has seen the film: What was the album that was given to Maeve at her birthday party at the end. Unfortunately, I didn't recognise it.

'Look Sharp' by Joe Jackson.

Ah, that's the one! Thank you!

I think it was Joe Jackson's Look Sharp. Very surprised that
Joe Jacksons song "Is she really going out with him" wasn't in the soundtrack.

Also to the person who mentioned the Pope's visit to Ireland, I think the film
was set around early Summer and the Pope didn't visit until September 1979.
