    A prolific piece beautifully orchestrated and acted.
    The back drop of Dublin in the early hours is so powerful.
    I'm proud of Ireland proud to be Irish and ashamed of the government.
    It's people are wonderful and this is proof that the art is still there.

    When I was about to graduate last year, we all started to ask each other 'where are you going?', not 'are you going?', it seemed like there were very little options. A lot of us have stayed.

    I left twenty-four years ago to Canada, came back four years ago, now I'm more homesick for Toronto than I was for Dublin. The Dublin we left is no longer, streets and attitudes have changed. Emmet is right,10 reasons to go, too many little excuses to stay. To anyone considering returning, don't waste your time, what you left is history, stay where you are, it can't be as bad as here. To anyone considering leaving, go for it! Great film, well done, deserves an Oscar.

    This always struck a chord with me. watching my pals leave these shores to far flung places like my ancestors in search of a better life. They may indeed find it. There are 70 million people on this planet who identify as irish. There is 5 million who inhabit this small island still. We are a nation of famine refugees... war refugees... AND economic refugees. I am thankful that the world now embraces us as the beautiful, inteligent and dynamic people we are. I wish it wasn't the case, but still every few months I attend a "going away party" of a friend I love and may never see again in the flesh. The southern hemisphere calls with oportinity on banana farms a plenty. things are getting better here. But are they ever gonna be so good that we can trust our elected officials to do what's best for our citizens. I'm stuck here now till I can manufacture an oportinity to get my daughter out of this corrupt hell hole. I want her to grow up in a place where her 1 single vote actually counts and we're not governed by a disgusting corrupt regime that the irish people have been stuck with the last 5 years. Our people deserve more. better. We want our people home. We need to stop sending our best and brightest to other countries. We need them here. With our educated workforce we could build a super economy... providing we have the correct leader ship. anyway onto my major point. We irish are a travelling people. We are educated and skilled. We also needed help over the past 150 years. We need to help these refugees from that war torn area of Syria and Iraq. an irish person who cannot identify with the plight of these people needs to seriously look at our history and see what we have accomplished when WE were given a chance. within 100 years of the great famine (an gorta mor) we had an irish man in the white house...

Love the country too much. We've left this country in droves over the last couple of centuries, possibly even further back, but we have to try and fix things eventually, they don't fix themselves.
    We have the potential to be great, we just don't seem to believe in ourselves and constantly seek validation.

    It is the very nature of being human that makes us give value to places to which we are familiar because evolutionarily these have been the places that we have associated with safety and warmth. For 10,000 years, 'moving on, trying new things with there lives' were grave decisions for human beings... Also making something like this is not easy. What ever about the script, the cinematography, music and performance are all superb.

The republic is almost a failed project with a low quality political class, get out if you can and open your eyes. It's tough but waiting for change is tougher. By leaving you create change and above all you can see what Ireland could have become had not the gombeen class kidnapped it.

    Never truer word spoken, Emmett you are voicing what we are all think
    But as Irish we are resiliient and will over come all these obstacles. Even though that light maybe even further down that tunnel than we expected it is still there.
