Friends That Shake the Barley
Reports from my friends at home in Ireland and in Britain in the last few days have been telling me about The Wind That Shakes The Barley, and all very much like it. One has strongly countered the Ryan Gilbey’s New Statesman review which criticized Loach’s portrayal of women.
No advance yet on whether TWTSTB will get a general release here in the US, but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you.
