This movie is bleaker than fuck. It’s like misery porn masquerading as black comedy. It’s well made but fuck it I am too old to pay to be bummed the fuck out.
It’s also a metaphor for the Irish civil war, so that’s in the background. But holy hell I’ve seen literal WAR movies that are vastly more enjoyable and vastly more upsetting that still manage to be worth the time and energy.

Reading that the author/director (also did in Bruges) had the cast set and the "story" 9 years ago, and that until midawy through production, did not know how the film would end, made me so fucking mad. I don;t wanna see no fuckers and their half-assed ideas. They think it is tragic, when it is actually torture.
