Calvary
DIRECTOR: John Michael McDonagh
CAST: Brendan Gleeson Chris O'Dowd Kelly Reilly
2011’s The Guard was probably our favorite Irish film of the decade so far, so expectations for McDonagh’s next project were high. Again Brendan Gleeson was casted as its lead and again McDonagh succeeds in creating a world that is very Irish and very absurd at the same time. Calvary tells the story of an unconventional Catholic priest who receives a death threat by a parishioner (whom he knows very well, but the viewer doesn’t get to know who it is until the final scene). Instead of trying to prevent his attacker, he decides to take a risk and meets him at a given place and time. Watch the trailer of Calvary

Run and Jump
DIRECTOR: Steph Green
CAST: Maxine Peake Edward MacLiam Will Forte
This small and sympathetic film didn’t get as much exposure as it deserved, which is why it can’t be absent on this list. Run & Jump is the story of a family dealing with a father whose character isn’t quite the same after he suffered stroke. His wife is determined to take him back home and tries to get everything back to normal. An American doctor is staying with the family to study the father’s behavior and possible improvements, which of course only makes things more complicated as he falls in love with the mother.

Good Vibrations
DIRECTOR: Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn
CAST: Jodie Whittaker Richard Dormer Liam Cunningham
The Irish answer to 24 Hour Party People, Michael Winterbottoms’ brilliant film on the rise and fall of Factory Records. Good Vibrations deals with the rise of a refreshingly un-political punk rock scene in Belfast, a city which was deeply religious and politically divided. At the heart of the punk movement is the idealistic Terri Hooley, who’s trying the best he can to run a record company/shop amidst the Troubles’ darkest days. Hugely entertaining and an important of one modern day Europe’s bloodiest histories as well. Watch the trailer of Good Vibrations

The Guard
DIRECTOR: John Michael McDonagh
CAST: Brendan Gleeson Don Cheadle Mark Strong
It’s not too hard to imagine why The Guard is the most (domestically and internationally) acclaimed and best Irish film of the 2010’s. It’s brilliant. Brendan Gleeson, probably Irelands’ best known actor these days, is the concerned Guard Gerry Boyle, a police officer in a remote coastal village. When his village happens to be the target of a group of drug traffickers, Gerry is forced to cooperate with a strait-laced FBI agent. This appears to be a problem, as Gerry’s working methods are quite unorthodox. Director McDonagh’s brother is Martin McDonagh, who directed In Bruges. They seem to share a splendid sense of dark, violent humor. Watch the trailer of The Guard

What Richard Did
DIRECTOR: Lenny Abrahamson
CAST: Jack Reynor Fionn Walton Gavin Drea
Director Lenny Abrahamson received quite some praise for his debut Adam and Paul in 2004, which was a touching and funny film about two Dubliner dope heads. What Richard Did is something entirely different. A solid drama about a promising teenager who is in the wrong fight at the wrong time, with all the disastrous consequences. Really well acted and with an ending that avoids the clichés. Nothing groundbreaking going on here, but it’s definitely worth watching. Watch the trailer of What Richard Did

Parked
DIRECTOR: Darragh Byrne
CAST: Colin Morgan Colm Meaney Milka Ahlroth
A fresh take on the bromance film, Parked deals with Fred, a colorless forty-something Irishman who has lost everything and is therefore forced to live in his car. At his parking spot, he soon gets to know Cathal, a dope-smoking 21-year-old with a positive attitude who appears to be his ‘neighbor’. At first, Fred is reluctant towards Cathal. As they grow closer however, the influence of these two outsiders on each other will change their lives. Watch the trailer of Parked

The Eclipse
DIRECTOR: Conor Mherson
CAST: Ciarán Hinds Iben Hjejle Aidan Quinn
A somewhat odd story of a widower coming to with himself. Odd in the sense that the film is both a horror film and a typical, subtle European family drama. It works on both sides, however. Ciarán Hinds (it’s never hard to feel sorry for that guy) plays the widower who volunteers at an annual literature festival. His life is turned upside down when he becomes romantically involved with an attending writer. At the same time he’s suffering from horrible visions. Everything might be connected… Watch the trailer of The Eclipse

Wild Mountain Thyme
DIRECTOR: John Patrick Shanley
CAST: Jamie Dornan, Emily Blunt & Jon Hamm
ohn Patrick Shanley directs his theatrical adaptation of his play Outside Mullingar. It’s a bittersweet drama of an Irish family quarreling over the farm. Among those in the family is Anthony Reilly, a man who seems both oblivious to his situation and cursed by his own family’s past. Perhaps the love his neighbor Rosemary Muldoon can change his life. This bittersweet tales features a cast that includes Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan, Jon Hamm, Dearbhla Molloy, and Christopher Walken. Watch the trailer of Wild Mountain Thyme
