[2] Val Barber, a private investigator, is hired by a wealthy widow to find her missing granddaughter.

[3] The film received a theatrical release in Ireland on 14 April 2023.

[4] A Film Ireland review said of the film, "This character study of a fragmented man searching for connection is certainly well timed for the post COVID era; Barber is an ambitious, accomplished film with a lot to offer".

[5] Writing in the Irish Examiner, Declan Burke described it as "nowhere as bleak as the blackest of noirs tend to be, but Fintan Connolly, who also directs, has crafted a thoughtful, nuanced film that goes beyond the genre's conventions to deliver a noir with real heart".
