I understand that's it is about Ireland's internal conflicts (any country's I suppose) creating a kind of social poverty reflected in their relationship. Got that. I just couldn't get past the core point that they can suddenly stop being the closest of friends like that... it felt like they were forcing the metaphor.

Funny and sad at many points, stellar acting, but I struggled with it.

Does it help if you look at more as a metaphor about a battle/struggle between our day to day lives, our relationships, and our legacies/what we leave behind?

That's what I thought it was about at first, but in retrospect those seem more like they were the underdeveloped subplots that were so frustrating because Gleeson is doing god-tier work in the film.

I'm just going on what the writer/director has said about the movie.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
