Strained humor gives way to maudlin melodrama in dull Irish pic Garage.
A wonderfully knowing portrait of the fading small-town lifestyle in the Emerald Isle, Garage doesn't quite make the "must-see" list because of its ending
The film is a study of how a seemingly insignificant and benign mistake can unravel into a tragedy, given the right circumstances
Sooooo slow. Not a bad movie exactly, but deals with life in a small Irish town, and my goodness, it makes sure you feel their boredom. The cast are all very ordinary and convincing, and it all feels very real. It is worth a watch, but I couldn't really recommend anyone rush out and rent it.

Slow, mesmerizing and poignant tale of the fragility of village life with an assured performance from Shortt.
