King of the Travellers (15)

Drama

In the Travelling community, a young man must put his past behind him and settle a long running feud between two families so he can be with the love of his life.


The critical consensus

Underwhelming tale of torn loyalty, forbidden love, revenge and betrayal.

**(*)(*)(*)Rob Carnevale, The List, 22/03/2013

The writer-director Mark O'Connor is no stranger to Shakespeare – spot references to Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet – though he's less assured on the nuts and bolts of actual plotting.

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 28/03/2013

The world of bare-knuckle Irish boxing feuds between bitterly opposed traveller families makes for depressing and unilluminating dramatic material.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)The Telegraph, 28/03/2013

A flibbertigibbet: it arrives with a twinkle in its eye, but little else between its cauliflower ears.

**(*)(*)(*)Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 28/03/2013

Bog standard is the word for this.
