Overview

A raucous story of the interweaving lives and loves of small-town delinquents, shady cops, pretty good girls and very bad boys. With Irish guts and grit, lives collide, preconceptions shatter and romance is tested to the extreme. An ill-timed and poorly executed couple's break-up sets off a chain of events affecting everyone in town.

The great thing about Intermission is that you barely have time to spot the gaps.

Anthony Lane, New Yorker

Not real Irish, but the movie kind: the latest to stumble off the [John] Ford assembly-line.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Rotten

Such are the dangers of teaching foreign cultures to yelp like Reservoir Dogs.

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

Intermission bursts with the energy of a documentary filmed on the run with a stolen camera.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

Intermission is the first movie in ages to show us what Irish native Hollywood star Farrell is capable of.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
