Devil May Care

About This Movie

So, 'Devil May Care' is this intriguing short documentary where Nora Twomey dives into her great-grandmother's life during the Anti-Treaty side of the Irish War of Independence and Civil War. The tone feels very personal, almost like you're sitting down with family to hear stories that have been tucked away. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of history without feeling rushed. It’s not flashy; there are no big-budget effects, but it feels authentic. The performances are heartfelt, especially Nora's own reflections that give it a depth you don’t always find in documentaries. There's a distinct atmosphere that captures the tension of those times, making it more than just a recounting of events. It’s an exploration of legacy, memory, and what it means to uncover the past.

Great for those interested in Irish history.Personal storytelling adds a unique layer.Short runtime makes it a quick watch.
