Here Are the Young Men

About This Movie

Here Are the Young Men really captures that bleak, gritty atmosphere of Dublin’s underbelly. The film focuses on these three boys—Matthew, Rez, and Kearney—who are just sort of drifting after school, feeling lost and detached. It's almost like they’re in a perpetual night, drowning in their own nihilism and reckless behavior. The pacing has this interesting rhythm; it builds tension slowly, leading to some pretty shocking moments that really stick with you. The performances are raw and unfiltered, which adds to the film's intensity. It’s distinctive in how it portrays youth and the chaos of their choices, without glamorizing the darker aspects of their journey.
