Cinematic Style and Atmosphere

The supporting cast includes Eileen Walsh, Michelle Fairley, Clare Dunne, Helen Behan and Emily Watson.

Mielants is a Belgian director who directed two other films, Wil and Patrick.

Incredible acting makes the movie worth seeing. Keegan’s book is much better because it clarifies Murphy’s character and his drive to help the unfortunate girl.
