Mr. Bairead, What happened to the Quiet Girl happened to me. I grew up with an angry, cruel father, just back from WWII. My mother knew what I was going through so she sent me to spend summers with my grandfather and mother from the ages of 10 -13. Watching her receiving love and acceptance for the first time just as I did was powerfully moving. I often say that my grandfather saved me. His love and warmth gave me another model of what a man could be. I cried at the end of the film when she ran after her saviors. I'm 80. Thank you very much for the gift you've given me. D. Dworkin
I've not been through what you've been through but I grew up in an often unhappy family situation til I left age 21. I too was emotional by the end of the film. Was watching with my wife so I stifled any tears which is difficult to do and probably unhealthy. Anyway, a Lovely film.
I was blessed to see this film on Amazon. I have Irish ancestry and am very drawn to its stories and music. I watched this movie three times in a row, I was so touched and moved by the story, the actors and locations, the way it was shot, the subtlety and beauty of it. I've been telling everyone about it. It's a masterpiece. Thank you so much Colm and Claire. Tears.
So many scenes in this movie are ever lightly shimmering with a profound tenderness that will slowly and gently embrace your heart. I absolutely loved this film and it's at the top of my list of favorite movies this year. And I am sharing it with family and friends.
Excellent interview Sarah - one of the best I’ve seen with the director. Watched it last night, a beautiful film. You brought out the heart and soul of the director’s vision and journey.
There was a radio clip of an all ireland hurling final from 1973 and other things seem to be from the 70s yet he said it was set in the early 80s .They were other things like the freezer which may or not have been common at the time.Doesn't really take anything away as such slightly less down to a tee than i thought .Lovely film .
I remember home chest freezers coming on the market in the 1960s. It was a real novelty to be able to buy meat and other things in bulk and freeze them. There were also a lot of news items on what could be frozen and what could not.
I'm wondering, I havent seen the film yet, what is the title of the book and the author? Is it translated into english please? Looking forward to seeing the Irish language film!

This film is wonderful. I'm constantly praising and trying to get more people to see it.
