All Critics (6) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (0)
There's more than enough interesting information and inherent drama to make Lane's life worthy of a documentary. What really lifts O'Sullivan's film above the norm is how he goes about it.
One of the brilliant things a well-made documentary can do is distill a complex yarn into an 80-minute digestible shape, and this story is complicated.
O'Sullivan's film provides a real insight into Hugh Lane's life and legacy, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor's performance catches a fascinating, warm, arrogant but overwhelmingly generous man.
Essential viewing for anyone seeking a better understanding of [Ireland's] complex capital city.
Working from Mark O'Halloran's fiendishly clever script, the December Bride director and dexterous editor Mick Mahon have fashioned a project as elegant as its subject.
It's a format that could have come across as jarring on screen, but O'Sullivan has expertly assembled the jigsaw puzzle of Lane's life and achievements without missing a piece.
