A coming-of-age drama so Irish you'll want to take out your Pogues' lyric sheets beforehand to brush up on Gaelic mumbling.
Overview
Two kids, Dylan and Kylie, run away from home on Christmas Day and spend a night of magic and terror on the streets of inner-city Dublin.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
What the writer and director, Lance Daly, means as some kind of transporting urban adventure for them is a disenchanting slog for us.
It's arresting.
A marginally sweet movie about two woebegone Irish kids.
Rewarding tale of two kids loose on Dublin's mean streets with outstanding performances.
