"Don't let the past control you. Be kind to yourself." These are just some of the words of wisdom signposted in
End of Sentence; an Ireland-showcasing drama about the long and winding road of family relationships.
John Hawkes (
Deadwood) plays Frank, a placid widower out to honour his Irish wife Anna's last wish that he and their son Sean (
The Perks of Being a Wallflower's Logan Lerman) scatter her ashes back home. Sean is a wild man who has just been released from prison and for whom the trip to his ancestral homeland appears to be both an inconvenience and an opportunity to take his anger out on his thoroughly decent father. Against a beautiful backdrop, that makes for both uncomfortable viewing and great acting.
