Spanning four tumultuous decades during the Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that time, Rea appeared in the film for which he is probably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game.
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, an extremely reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the same organization Price has been involved with for many years. It is a masterpiece of storytelling and direction with superbly crafted and depicted character development.
Having grown up in Northern Ireland during the “Troubles,” I can testify that the imagery, brutality, and pain are very real. The acting is superb and full credit must be given to the director for turning an incredible storybook into a cinematic masterpiece!
It’s on par with Breaking Bad and The Shawshank Redemption. It made me cry several times, and I eventually had to leave the house around midnight and drive around the city, just to relax from its emotional impact.
