IRISH THEATRE NEWS
ABOUT

Welcome to irishfilmtv.com (IFTV), a digital celebration of Irish on-screen culture and the perfect resource for lovers of Irish film and television!
Fully bilingual, IFTV showcases the very latest news and updates on Ireland’s most beloved actors, including interviews, reviews, production updates, release information and streaming links.
Spearheading the initiative is Michael Barry. Michael’s strategic leadership has shaped content acquisition and programming strategies across Canada’s telecommunications giants and theatrical distribution landscape. His distinguished career includes Rogers, Bell, TELUS and Cineplex Entertainment, where he has driven innovation in content licensing and programming initiatives.
A respected curator in the international film festival circuit, Michael has served on programming teams for several prestigious institutions. He has contributed his expertise to Hot Docs Canadian International Film Festival, North America’s largest documentary festival; the Gimli International Film Festival, Manitoba’s premier film event; and co-founded the Toronto Irish Film Festival in 2010, establishing a vital cultural bridge between Canadian and Irish cinema.
Michael’s creative accomplishments extend to filmmaking, where his directorial debut documentary THE WEXFORD garnered critical acclaim, securing the Audience Choice Award at the Scarborough Worldwide Film Festival. The film’s cultural significance has been recognized through its permanent inclusion in the City of Toronto Digital Archives, preserving an important piece of Toronto’s community history.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions to international cultural exchange, Michael was awarded the City of Belfast Global Ambassador distinction in 2019. This prestigious award acknowledges his decade-plus leadership of the Toronto Irish Film Festival and its instrumental role in creating platforms for emerging Irish filmmakers to reach global audiences, while strengthening the cultural ties between Ireland and North America.
Michael currently serves as Outreach Manager for the Toronto Film School, Canada’s #1 film school, supporting the creative aspirations of emerging Canadian actors, screenwriters, graphic designers and video game developers.

BRING THEM DOWN review
September 21, 2024
BRING THEM DOWN initially tells its story through the perspective of Michael. Weighed down by internal conflicts, he traverses the Irish countryside almost invisibly. His brooding aggression and minimal dialogue hook you into his world. Michael’s silent fury is far more fascinating and impactful than the noise of his neighboring

THE OUTRUN review
August 27, 2024
FOE star Saoirse Ronan is earning rave reviews for her performance in THE OUTRUN. The film is an adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s autobiographical story, in which a return to one’s origins is synonymous with inner healing. Here, Ronan finds a role tailor-made to explore the intricacies of the human soul, in

FOE review
October 2, 2023
After providing the raw fodder for Charlie Kaufman’s characteristically cryptic I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS, Canadian novelist Iain Reid serves up more brain-bender material in Garth Davis’ FOE. Anchored by emotionally raw performances from Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, with Aaron Pierre as a stranger bringing equal parts seductive charm

BALLYWALTER review

The reviews for BALLYWALTER are in! The Irish Independent says “Patrick Kielty is a revelation and Seána Kerslake exemplary in this moving drama.

THE KILLER review
September 5, 2023
Straight from it’s World Premiere at Venice Film Festival, THE KILLER is earning highly positive reviews. David Fincher’s horribly addictive samurai procedural, adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker from the graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, stars Michael Fassbender as the un-named titular hitman: an ascetic who in the movie’s sensationally low-key

LOLA review
April 11, 2023
The debut film from Irish director Andrew Legge is a pacy, thrillingly inventive found-footage mockumentary that purports to show the invention, in 1940, of a machine that can intercept television and radio broadcasts from the future. The device is named Lola in honour of the mother of the machine’s creators:

WOMEN TALKING review
February 9, 2023
The reviews are in for WOMEN TALKING, starring Jessie Buckley. This important film tells the story of a community battered by rape and patriarchal ideas, as a mainly female cast debate the repercussions of the brutality meted out to them.

TOWN OF STRANGERS review
February 8, 2023
TOWN OF STRANGERS is set in the town of Gort in County Galway, perhaps best known for being the site of Coole House, the home of Lady Gregory and the Irish literary revival of Yeats, Synge, O’Casey and Shaw. None of that is mentioned, however: director Threasa O’Brien focuses on

AFTERSUN review
November 19, 2022
Charlotte Wells’ moving debut feature AFTERSUN details a father-daughter vacation at a cheap resort in Turkey. There’s something unknowable about Calum (Paul Mescal), and maybe this is because Sophie (Frankie Corio) is a child, and he’s her dad, and she’s just about coming to the age where she’s separating herself

THE WONDER review
November 16, 2022
In the new film version of Emma Donoghue’s richly absorbing novel THE WONDER, we confront what the march of history and colonialism has done to Ireland. The film opens in 1862, ten years after the Great Hunger, in a windswept midlands village where a local girl called Anna O’Donnell is
