"[8] Foscadh was filmed in 2019 and 2020, in Corr na Móna, County Galway[6] having received a grant of €400,000 from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.

The Irish Times in a four star review described the film as a "powerful" piece that "poignantly chronicles rural male loneliness."

Declan Burke of The Irish Examiner praises Seán Breathnach for crafting "...an emotionally charged psychologically complex film."

Variety described the film as a "forensic and unflinching examination" of loneliness and longing that is "very well performed and visually striking."
