Slow, dark and uneventful

Sadly, I can't find any redeeming features in this film. I generally enjoy Irish productions but this was boring, melancholy and aimless. I'm incredulous at the fact that it won and was nominated for awards. The main character is dreary, he speaks in a very low tone which is difficult to hear and understand. There is no explanation as to why the woman who is the object of his desire and obsession is so important to him. No character development whatsoever, which leaves the viewer constantly wondering why any of it is happening. An uninteresting beginning, mediocre middle and truly depressing ending. Absolutely not recommended.
