Film Ireland’s web reviews are brought to you by a wide range of writers, from all walks of life, working tirelessly to bring you their personal responses and critical engagement to mainstream and ‘arthouse’ cinema. Film Ireland has always enjoyed the eclectic and individual writing we receive from our reviewers and now we want to give something back. If you like what you’ve seen and are interested in commissioning any of our writers, please contact editorfilmbase.ie
