Well being of Irish desent I really got sucked in on this one... This movie was painful to sit through, but I hung in there hoping it would get... r. Sadly it did not...

Just caught the trailer for this film and got really excited. The dialogue was super sharp and the cinematography looked beautiful. I even think I... cognized a song from Flogging Molly! They posted the trailer on www.apple.com/trailers if you want to check it out for yourself. It opens this weekend in NY and LA. Whoohoo! Full Review

Because "Petrol" is so grim, its few moments of repentance and reconciliation don't feel as contrived as they might otherwise; if any film has earned the right to be sentimental, it's this one.Full Review

Solid performances and a literary feel help turn a standard family-rift drama into a dry but saucy narrative.Full Review

This is the kind of movie in which characters revere poetry, yet hardly anything about the writing (it's based on a stage play by Joseph O'Connor) or directing (by Tamar Simon Hoffs) qualifies as poetic.Full Review

It all rings particularly hollow in light of several recent pics ("Last Orders" and "The Barbarian Invasions" chief among them) that have explored similar terrain with much greater emotion and intelligence.Full Review
