It is a fairy tale of course - the actor playing Frank the dog is English, yet seems to understand Irish perfectly. Maybe they're teaching Irish in UK dog schools?
This is a story of loss and grief and how life goes on and something turns up to help the healing process - not just for the widow of Frank the hurler, but her son who has been ignoring his grief while dealing with the worried well. And it's not the creepy neighbour either. Frank the dog is a catalyst for young Mikey to emerge as a hurling star. Lovely ending as Frank the madra moves on to work his healing magic. The scenery in Ring Co Waterford is not credited as a key player in the film, but it looks superb. Also the hurling matches and the cameos of the coaches and the local kiddies.
Very clear Irish for those who understand, and subtitles for those who don't. A lovely, affirming film. It is a fairy tale of course - the actor playing Frank the dog is English, yet seems to understand Irish perfectly. Maybe they're teaching Irish in UK dog schools?
