A Greyhound of a Girl

Giving this an 8/10 rating

A really quite splendidly funny, moving and very well animated film, based on a book by Roddy Doyle, and has some very sharp humour that is nothing short of nutty, this tale about a really important subject that effects everyone, and it shows conviction and bravery, with a lot of heart in it, plus it is so really well handled it's fun, from start to finish.

The family involved is played by Brendan Gleeson, Mia O'Connor, Sharon Horgan, Rosaleen Linehan, Charlene McKenna, and Paul Tylak who plays a health worker, all deliver their roles and the jolly lines that are needed, otherwise this world be a very dark tale.

Writer and director, Enzo D'Alò takes us in and shows us some quite spectacular views of Ireland, and the character designs do work very well, and there is a lot of food in this film, so and a bit of crying, but you will be laughing. The film does not waste our time, everything is paced right, and the good writing, also from Roddy Doyle and Dave Ingham, make this little adventure more than good.

So glad I rushed out and watched this in the cinema, might be in my top ten of this year of movies.
