12-year-old Mully has lost his mother and discovers his debt-ridden father stealing the charity money they've raised in her name. Grabbing the cash, Mully steals a taxi and is shocked to find a woman, Joy, in the back seat with a baby. A straight-talking solicitor who didn't expect to get pregnant, Joy is struggling with motherhood and planning to give her baby to a friend who will raise the child as her own. She joins Mully on a wild journey across Ireland, stealing cars, hitch-hiking, catching ferries and breaking police barricades.

I enjoyed it, it was lovely movie. Not very high on the list of "believable" movies, but if you're just looking for a feel good movie where you don't have to think too much about how things work in real life, then this is a good choice. Olivia Colman was of course, amazing. And the young lad who played Mully, Charlie Reid, did a great job. The movie touched on some serious topics, but was still fairly light hearted.

When a director needs to make a movie, one of the most classic plot device is to take a couple of characters, put them in a car, spread a couple of encounters along the way, and the film is done. Then, not to complain if nobody would see it.

“It’s not a crime if no one presses charges.” This was such a pleasant film that was self-aware of its small scope. Sometimes watching people drive around for two hours talking about why they are there and what they intend to do can be the best plan for a Sunday evening.

OK, so luck does play a disproportionately big role in this rather far-fetched comedy drama, but all of that is redeemed by two really quite engaging performances from Olivia Coleman and Charlie Reid. The latter is a young lad who doesn't like the idea that his roguish father is about to appropriate More
