Critic Reviews of "The Playboys"
VarietyMarch 11, 2008This familiar pattern of headstrong girl and passions brimming beneath the surface is well directed by first time Scottish helmer Gillies MacKinnon, though the pace slows in middle reels as plot gives way to the troupe's enjoyable stage performances.
Hollywood ReporterMarch 11, 2008This absorbing film boasts several outstanding performances as well as a richness in both story and character that is much too rare these days.
Time OutJune 24, 2006With time, place and mood sensitively evoked, this is solid, intelligent entertainment, mercifully free of the usual 'Oirish' clichés.
Rolling StoneMarch 06, 2005There's magic in it.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Mr. Finney, looking puffy and ravaged in the role of a man who has lost much of himself to drink (and whose obsessive interest in Tara somehow offers him the chance of redemption), brings a furious, buried intensity to Hegarty's longing.
Film4March 11, 2008The wry Irish wit sits like froth on the head of a glass of Guinness, masking a deceptively bitter brew.
EmanuelLevy.ComJune 21, 2007The film is set in 1957, before TV and cars became popular, thus explaining the centrality of two institutions in the Irish village: the church and the theater.
Combustible CelluloidMay 26, 2006This bit of blarney depicts a sweet, silly love triangle in 1950s provincial Ireland.
Spirituality and PracticeJuly 18, 2003Rfeveals the delights and the drawbacks of small town life.
