The POV switch I mean. But as it progressed I just wasn’t invested. Style beautiful plot shite

It worked for me up until the shotgun. Grew up with school holidays spent on various farms and you bond with everything breathing on each. New calves of dairy herds, spring lambing season, wool shearing, tough people
The marker scene was a nostalgia moment and quality tension builder, followed by the sheep incident (jfc) and how the sheepdog faired was unbearable but the ending threw a lot away ie did it have to go all that far?
Colm Meaney was solid, his bickering disability of age, infirmity and having to empty his piss daily showed the grind as truly multifaceted, even the British bloke out of The Terror as a robust protagonist yet I struggled with it - Mubi had 3 months for £3 so no brainer
What disappointed for me was the acceleration to violence - there was a more subtle Gaeltacht story in there somewhere. Keoghan does sly well, sly eyes, bit polished for a farmer. Scenes begging for mountain vistas, more heavy on the isolation, even where the story bifurcated. Add the absent mother due to x at the intro was “is this trauma for the sake of it?”
Got spoiled with The Quiet Girl. Talk about pitch perfect and fucking with your heart, mrs was blubbing at the end as the titles queued
