I saw An Irish Goodbye at a packed out screening of the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and it deservedly walked away with the award for Best British Short.
A true testament to what can be achieved in the short form, it's a film that captures everyone involved at the top of their game, from the directing, screenplay and cinematography to the wonderful performances. While the leads justifiably won widespread acclaim, An Irish Goodbye certainly proves the adage that there are no small parts, with the supporting roles expertly providing the perfect level of humour and pathos.
Like the best creative works, I was left sad that I wouldn't be seeing these adroitly formed people again and can't wait to see what the filmmakers do next.
