Irish potato famine drama.

Arracht (or Monster for the English title) is an entirely (well almost) Irish spoken drama. For some reason I thought Irish would have words that sounded similar to English but to my surprise there were none, it's a totally different language. The story itself wasn't bad but sometimes it was a bit too slow paced, some scenes were just dragged out a bit. The acting wasn't bad tough. Good cinematography and photography in a rather dark colour that accentuated the feeling of misery that is present in the entire plot. I watched it once and I won't watch it again. Good enough movie but not something I need to watch again.
