“…an anguished Catholic drama, yet McDonagh also brings a certain lightness to the tale.”

“…traces the imperceptible reverberations of a guilty conscience.”

“…an intensely cinematic psychological portrait of a man reckoning with the how and why of who he’s become.”

“…chronicles the colossal significance of the everyday.”

“…uses handcrafted effects to heighten life’s biggest moments.”

“…there isn’t a detail in Floating Weeds that isn’t meant to be carefully seen.”

“…there is the suggestion of religion as a haunting presence, a burden to bear.”

“…a primal scream over justice denied and civilization lost.”

“…less a deromanticized Western than an emasculated one.”
