    Brendan Gleeson & Martin McDonagh could make a film about nothing and I'd still enjoy it.
  • @taintabird23
    Brendan's son Domhnall, now a successful actor in his own right is the lad selling tea on the train.
  • @swim4scofield
    It's always brilliant when Brendan and Domhnall act together
  • @cated4783
    This short film is brilliant in every way possible for it to be. Acting, cinematography, story, scenery, everything. Martin McDonagh does it again!
  • @villacelt
    Just watched The Banshees of Inisherin and had to go straight back to this to remind me that Martin McDonagh was always going to be brilliant.
  • This was totally brilliant. I had a young bloke working for me 10 years ago just like this kid even looked like him and he was a Murphy. His Ma was so thankful that I worked him hard everyday as he would be tied when he got home. She enjoyed the rest she got. ADHD is a hell of a thing. I ended up firing him and he shot my place up with a massive potato gun. He was mental, he lived 7 houses over and he could hit my roof with it. Now he's a really good young lad.
  • @Vesnicie
    A bit ropy, but you see the seeds of In Bruges clearly and Gleeson is always a joy to watch.
  • After seeing "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri", I was curious about this director's earlier work. Well done, both then and now.
  • @Dreyno
    I miss the old train carriages with the soft seats. The old clackety-clack lines. Opening the windows beside the toilet to smoke, watching the join in the carriages bend over and back. Bag of albums from Tower Records, heading home into the sunset the day after a concert in the Point Depot. Good times.
  • @BlueCrayon77
    Hang on! I saw this years ago, and watching it again I've only just realised.... isn't that Domhnall Gleeson playing the young guy with the food trolley?!? Brendan Gleeson's son.. and now possibly most famous for being General Hux in Star Wars.
  • @MilA-eh3gf
    WOw Domhnall Gleeson back in the days XD
  • @MSYNGWIE12
    Brilliant! Another great Brendan Gleeson,Martin McDonagh film one can watch over and over and never tire of. Black humour at it's most superlative! And the countryside of Ireland is a star too, the GREEN bucolic glory of it never ceases to amaze me. Namaste from Canada
  • @olliephelan
    just for interest.
    If anyone ever drank tea on one of those trains from Heuston or any of its lines, at that time , you were drinking canal water.
    I know, because I used to fill up the tank.
  • @paulmeahan7327
    So nice to see some of the actors from The Guard here. Can't get enough of this sort of humour in film.
  • @alienJIZ1990
    "Best dee of me fuckin loif; that cow explodin'."
  • I saw this when it first came out and I thought to myself, this director has a lot of promise.
