The film tells the story of a poor Dublin taxi driver (Jack Reynor) who gets tangled up in the world of human trafficking to pay for his alcoholic mother's (Toni Collette) costly rehab at a private clinic.
In the movie's best scene, as mother and son dance to an old pop song, the look on Reynor's face speaks volumes about loss and hope. It's a look that's going to be breaking hearts on screen for decades to come.
The dialogue is sparse, and a certain plot point is so vague as to be positively confusing. But the actors accomplish a lot with a hooded look, a weary sigh and a guilty sip of wine.
