Adam & Paul – Film Screening

What the Press say…
“Hauntingly dark and frequently touching, Adam and Paul is
also hilarious.” “ ★★★★ Entertainment.ie

“There are some nods to Beckett and Laurel and Hardy, but
these influences are worn lightly and intelligently, and the
movie never glamorises drugs or tries to make its comedy on
the subject dishonestly flippant” The Guardian.

“This sad, disorientating tale of two chronic junkies looking to
score heroin is one of the best Irish movies ever made.
Written by Mark O’Halloran (who also stars), there is an almost
Beckettian sense of existential alienation about it.
Adam and Paul are meandering through a waste of a life. All
they can think about is getting money and drugs. But this film
works on a higher level, mainly due to the sensitive directing of
Lenny Abrahamson” Irish Independent.

“Screenwriter O’Halloran makes an admirably world-weary
stooge, but Murphy excels as the eager, accident-prone clown”
Empire On Line
