Based in Belfast, former documentary specialist Tony Mitchell here directs his first foray into fiction, and an excellent and engaging job he does too.
An endearing fish-out-of-water tale about Josh Jenkins (Emy Aneke), an American actor who is in Belfast to make a new film, finds himself staying with a local family when his funding falls through. Jam-packed with knowing nods to NI culture including some great fun cameos, there is warm, family-based humour aplenty, with an excellent cast and wonderful NI locations. Promoting young NI talent, Grace & Goliath was funded by the film charity Cinemagic.
A real ray of movie sunshine, full of heart – Belfast style!
