This was a
film I wanted to see - I really do not understand what has been happening in Northern Ireland and this film offered me a chance to see it from the inside...
The chance to be a spy to opt out of a jail sentence as a terrorist sets the tone at the beginning - and all this as a consequence of guilt at her brother being caught in the IRA crossfire. But can someone ever be free once you have sold your soul in this way? Strangely though, it seems as if her MI5 contact is also not abreast of what is really going on - could they really care for each other, or just be trapped together and desperately dependent on each other?
I was horrified at the way the anger spans generations and how the men carry the fury while the women just get on with it and make the ultimate sacrifices... I am so thankful that I did not gorw up in this society as I know I would not have found a way through it...
