God's Creatures

The tension builds and nothing really happens and then it happens too quickly in God's Creatures. It's a feature to miss. There are strong performances and beautiful scenery, but the climax is accompanied by 20 minutes of explanation. A frustrating Irish tale of woe. Final Score: 4/10

A dreary tale of working class Irish costal life where a mother makes a serious but reflexive mistake to protect her son, which quickly becomes a burden she has to bare. Overall a somewhat dark and somber film but a good one. Not over long and to the point.

I didn't find it boring nor particularly engaging, but I was left with a feeling that at the very end of the picture they all suddenly decided to give up. Especially the screenwriter.

5.0/10 — "Poor"/"Inferior"/"Amateurish"

What a dreary film. I really like Emily Watson and she was the only good thing about this. Paul Mescal's accent was out of touch with the other actors and they were not consistent either. Disappointing as an Irish person watching an Irish made film with Irish actors. Pretty easy to get the basics right, but they didn't.

Overblown and melodramatic. The score is more suitable for a horror movie. The storyline is good, but the power of it is hindered by the production.

The story washes over you just like the waves in this fishing and oyster-bed community, as do the effects of one person's actions on a seemingly tight-knit community. Atmospherically shot, the scenery as stark and impressive as the acting. Much of the dialogue was lost on me, delivered as it was in hushed-tones and noisy bars and to the sound of waves and thunder - i was grateful for the use of subtitles for the Gaelic and could have used them throughout the film - i might then have picked up on more of the nuance hinted at in the film's subtleties.

Pay attention to God's Creatures, 'cause you'll miss the whole pack of lies as they slowly slog by.

Powerful. Hang on. It's sneaking up on you then bites you in the face

Omg how could anyone think this was a good watch , only thing good was the scenery
