I learned of this film through the Independent Spirit Awards and it looked quite interesting. I have to say, I didn't know anything about the subject matter prior to the viewing.
The film is beautifully crafted and structured. I love when independent films that advantage of their resources and this film did exactly that. There is literally no dialogue in the entire 90 mintues of this film. There is one scene, which lasts for seventeen and a half minutes, and is shot in one, long uncut take. The majority of the dialogue takes place here and we learn about Bobby Sands' intentions.The exposition in this film is incredible; Steve McQueen did a fascinating job writing and directing this film.
Unfortunently, I wasn't able to get too involved because the subject matter wasn't quite clear. After very little research, I understood what was going on exactly. This film is brutal and painful to watch. Usually, I can hold myself but there are one or two scenes were I almost cringed.
