Sure, it’s not going to break any box-office records, but this is a poignant, thoughtful film that deserves a wider audience than the handful likely to see it.

It's Glen's brilliantly understated performance of the sensitive, troubled Doug that elevates Small Engine Repair way above the competition; by the end, his small journey of quiet redemption will mean everything to you.

A poignant character study with a pleasing mid-Atlantic sensibility, Niall Heery’s debut feature is ultimately as inconsequential as one of Glen’s clichéd compositions.

It’s an admirable first feature from writer-director Niall Heery, but one that never really says anything broader about Irish society or the shackles of fame.
