Very different view of an Irish singer
This is certainly not a normal documentary, nor is it merely a collection of songs. It presents a good sense of Joe Heaney’s life by re-enacting parts of his life with a little documentary footage. I would have preferred a bit of narration to clarify what was happening and more of the enjoyable old Irish songs. However, I found the odd background music annoying.
Boring…
I read quite a few of the reviews and they all praised the movie but it was not for m e. I thought it was long and drawn out. I didn’t like the music and I could not wait till the movie was over.
