Sunphlowers Movie Review | Anne McCrudden Is A Marvel In Heartfelt Irish Drama

The Parting starts its festival run with the Dublin International Film Festival (Feb 19 - Mar 1, 2026)

Verdigris, Patricia Kelly’s remarkable debut feature, is a lovely tale of unlikely friendship, inspired by her experiences as a census enumerator in Dublin’s north inner city. After being made redundant, Kelly, who had presided over several low-budget short films, took a leap of faith with her own production company, MnáMná Films, to bring a first feature to life. Thank goodness she did.

‘DIVE’, based on the short story by Amy-Joyce Hastings, will have its world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh in July.

Meet the rising West Cork star who plays the lead role in a powerful new drama about sexuality and inclusion.

With two very strong, nuanced performances, Martin and Mills lead with an undeniable capability to connect with and control the narrative. Supporting the tight script and shining performances is a moody score by two-time Emmy nominated Joseph Conlan. Ranging from high tension, to sobering lows, his score is present only when required as a reinforcement of the action on-screen.
