cute kids in a street fable
1 September 2016
Dylan and Kylie live next to each other in the lower class townhouses outside Dublin with their dysfunctional families. Kylie's uncle has returned and she's hiding under her bed. She discovers a money stash. Dylan's ma gets hit by his da. Dylan escapes with Kylie's help. Fearing reprisal for the damages, they runaway and head off for Dylan's brother Barry.

The kids are undeniably foul-mouthed cute. It's an adventurous trip and a coming-of-age story. It's part fable and part gutter realism. It is utterly sweet and poignant with a bit of Bob Dylan. And the two young actors are fabulous especially the girl. The camera is almost always at their level. It's a shorter indie but very sweet.
