In this comedy drama starring Cillian Murphy (28 DAYS LATER) and Colin Farrell (PHONE BOOTH) a series of coincidences and haphazard relationships unite a small group of people...
more...living in Dublin. The result is an alternately depressing and humorous sideways glance at the way that people make their life decisions, seen through a group of duplicitous characters each of whom has a stubborn, selfish side and a soft, vulnerable side. With plenty of off-kilter jokes running the gamut from impotence and adultery to pissing and puking, INTERMISSION delivers its crowing potshot to female moustaches--quaintly nicknamed "tash" here. Sally (Shirley Henderson) is the downtrodden young woman with the "tash," and is also the sister of Deirdre (Kelly Macdonald) who is on the rebound after a hard breakup. Her ex-boyfriend John (Murphy) works as a clerk at a department store. His colleague Oscar (David Wilmot) is an impotent shy lad who finally finds a solution with Noeleen (Deirdre O'Kane), an older woman whose husband has just left her for the much-younger Deirdre. Meanwhile the overzealous copper Jerry (Colm Meany) is busy chasing after harmless criminal Lehiff (Colin Farrell). When a shocking bus accident occurs, the characters are brought together and forced to face the reality of their tangled lives.

Review of Intermission (DVD) by barefoot777

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: not too commercial

“Intermission” directed by John Crowley “Intermission” is a film that seems to be happening without a single genuine dramatic, narrative or comedy moment, during entire film and although there was some shocking moments, nothing was really very surprising, not after “Trainspotting”. The only genuine thing is Irish accent, as for being qualified as Irish. And speaking of shocking, some of the things done and ... Read review

Review of Intermission (DVD) by Jamie2oo4

Advantages: In review
Disadvantages: In review

...(Tomas O'Suilleabhain) When I picked up Intermission I have to say I didn’t know what to expect. I love Irish films as an Irish man away from home they always make me laugh, but I have to say Intermission was a new breath of fresh air from the days of The Commitments, The Snapper, and The Van. The opening scene is by far one of the best it is completely unpredicted and for those of you who haven’t seen the film you are in for abit of a shock. We ... Read review

Life is what happens in between.
Review of Intermission (DVD) by fluffyfreak

Advantages: good comedy, great acting
Disadvantages: yet another colin farrell film

I was thinking the other day that it's about time there was a decent British film released, amongst all the hype and publicity surrounding such films as the Matrix and Lord of the Rings series'. Well, I was sent free cinema tickets to see this film, and having nothing better to do I went to see it with only the slightest clue as to what it was about. Quite simply, the short preview in the UGC magazine I picked up said this was basically a film ... Read review

The Unmissable Movie of the Moment
Review of Intermission (DVD) by fizzytom

Advantages: Very funny black comedy with twists turns and all the elements you need to make a film appeal across the board
Disadvantages: Stay away if you're easily offended by bad language

I went along to see this film knowing absolutely nothing about it, having been sent some free preview tickets. When the opening titles came up I realised that it was a film I'd seen billed as starring Colin "Flavour of the Month" Farrell who I'd much admired this year in "Phone Booth" and "The Recruit". However, Farrell is not the only star of this movie and the intertwined plots and sub-plots allow every actor to shine within his or her own tale. The ... Read review
