CGiii Comment
Buy a bloody tripod - and stop pressing the zoom button.
Crowley's debut feature - later, he did the excellent Boy A - but Intermission is a hideous portrait of modern Ireland.
There's none of the cheeky chappy charm here - just a bunch of mean-spirited characters, even the extras are vile - for example, the shop girl.
There are too many storylines - too many American homages - and boredom sets in rather quickly.
Careless and chaotic.
Cheerless and joyless.

Intermission is an urban love story about people adrift and their convoluted journeys in the search for some kind of love. When the desperately insecure and emotionally inarticulate John breaks up with Deirdre to 'give her a little test' his plan backfires leaving her broken-hearted and him alone and miserable. Through chance and coincidence, their break-up triggers a roller coaster ride of interweaving escapades in the lives of everyone around them. Intermission presents a slice of life, the passage between breaking up and making up, exploring how our lives intersect, and the power we all possess to affect the lives of those around us.
