If you have what did you think of it ?

Growing up in the countryside 1961 Ireland looks like the dark ages and his aunt and uncles feeding him fags and alcohol from such a early age must have contributed to his alcoholism and chain smoking.

His family would be arrested for abuse and he would of been in care if it was in England.

How he’s still alive is a miracle but nice to see he got some new teeth.

I managed to get 40 minutes in and then gave up. You can’t understand a word he says, to the point you end up giving up. 

Really looking forward to it, but for me it was unwatchable.

Yeah I agree with you the sound quality was really bad and that’s the reason I didn’t watch it to the end.
I could understand him when I could hear him but got fed up having to turn the volume up and down.
The person in charge of sound recording on that film was rubbish.
