What Richard Did

About This Movie

What Richard Did captures that bittersweet feeling of youth and the fragility of reputation. Set in Dublin, it dives deep into the psyche of a seemingly untouchable rugby star, Richard, whose life takes a dark turn after one impulsive night. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, creating this tense atmosphere that grips you as you watch his world slowly unravel. The performances are raw and authentic. Each character feels grounded, especially Richard, portrayed with a mix of charisma and vulnerability that makes his fall more poignant. The film’s focus on moral ambiguity and the consequences of a single decision is striking, leaving you with more questions than answers about integrity and belonging.

Explores themes of morality and youth.Strong character-driven narrative.Intimate, understated cinematography.
