Patrick's Day (film)

Patrick's Day is a 2014 Irish drama film written and directed by Terry McMahon.

Patrick (Moe Dunford) is a 26-year-old schizophrenic young man, who goes missing in the middle of the St. Patrick's Day festivities in Dublin, much to the alarm of his English mother Maura (Kerry Fox).

He goes through a withdrawal type sequence as the doctors and nurses hold him in place and get him to see the light.

The Irish Times gave it 4 stars out of 5, calling it "a fascinating collision of psychiatric drama and state-of-the nation address.

"[1] The Irish Independent, on the other hand, gave it 2 star out of 5 and criticised "McMahon's tendency to write speeches rather than dialogue which people might actually use, something of a drawback when he appears to be going for realism".
