I'm baffled at some of the reviews here. It's a kids film primarily, nothing like the Mire serious book Of Kells etc, and my young boys loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It deals with the grandfather's death beautifully. I am Irish, (have an actual Irish accent) and I didn't notice any pretend Irish accents going on, I really don't get the reviews that mentioned forced Irish accents or brogue Irish..... no American actors were used as Irish characters in this film. Pierce Brosnan's accent has always been slightly unusual in that he slips in and out of Irish, English, and slightly American at times. Aisling Bea really does sound like that. Real Irish accents vary massively, and yes, some Irish people in rural Ireland still roll their R's. We have watched it a few times now, I suspect it will always be a family favourite. Inspired lots of dancing and helpful discussions around old age and death. Recommended.
