Both comic & tragic consequences ensue as the lives of a dozen assorted characters interweave in this urban Irish drama. The shocking opening sequence sets the tone for this compelling & tangled black comedy. With its converging and crossing storylines the film has strong parallels with Crash (2004). This low budget film is extremely well scripted (peppered with authentic Dublinese), tightly edited and provides loads of laughs & shocks. Intermission boasts an excellent cast - the trio of great Irish actors (Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy & Colm Meaney) are in top form and have helped to raise the film’s profile. Colin Farrell in particular, is brutally effective and gives an suitably edgy performance, not unlike his recent turn in In Bruges (2008). For me, both interMission and In Bruges are notable highlights for recent Irish related cinema. Thanks for taking the time to read my review.Read full review
Intermission is a true original, very smartly plotted, uproariously funny, startingly unsettling and unexpectedly moving...Life is what happens in between.
Intermission is a quintessential Irish film - great characters, hilarious storylines & starring Colm Meaney (usually him & Brendan Gleeson take turns appearing in Irish films). Great performances from Colin Farrell & Cillian Murphy (who does a good northside Dublin accent despite his Cork roots). Overall, fantastic film!
SAW THE FILM ON TV, LIKED IT, BOUGHT IT!!! GRIPPING STORYLINE, GOOD ACTORS, WELL KNOWN, AND GOOD QUALITY OVERALL.
