"At first glance to be a road movie with an Irish slant. But on closer inspection, the film keeps a foot firmly planted in each of two very different communities, the suffocatingly restrictive world of Finbar’s and Danny’s housing estate, and the freedom and anarchy of Lapland, with minimal road miles in between."

"Acted by an appealing cast, enlivened with well-chosen and varied music and filmed with bleak beauty by the cinematographer Eduardo Serra"
