Review of The Last of the High Kings (1996) by Ned J — 18 Jul 2007
Fun look at a teenager's life after he finishes the Leaving Certificate the same summer that Elvis dies. Jared Leto is quite convincing (his accent's not bad!) and Catherine O'Hara is hilarious as the insane, red-haired, Irish mother, convinced her family is descended from the High Kings of Ireland.
I enjoyed this one; it's probably fun, even if you're not Irish. Great soundtrack, good performances, evocative of that period in your life after school where you sit about and go 'now what do I do?' Enjoyable and funny.
