Steller film that I resisted on opening, for some reason. Wish I hadn't. This
homage to A Clockwork Orange follows young Francie Brady (Owens) on a path of
destruction through Kennedy-era Ireland. Jordan's best work since The Crying
Game, and right when I'd given up on him. Delicious.
Chop chop, Boy.
