Synopsis
In a social housing suburb in Dublin, John lives with his alcoholic mother, Jean, while earning a meager living as a nocturnal taxi driver. When Jean has an opportunity to recover, John must offer his services to a petty criminal to help pay for his mother’s costly rehab program.
Editorial
Looking at unhappy lives with patient tenderness, this absorbing drama acknowledges the strength of people who cannot see it for themselves. In finely tuned performances, Jack Reynor and Toni Collette chart a mother and son’s crooked path from despair to transformative hope.
