Review of The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) by Marcy Dermansky for About.com — 18 Mar 2007
At 124 minutes, the heartfelt drama comes across as pedantic and tedious. Cillian Murpy, fortunately, is such a fine actor, that by the end, his presence accomplishes Loach's mission. He makes the film work.
