Redolent of young-adult fiction by means of faculty hijinks films, with a whiff of British realism, that is a lot much less satisfying than all that will counsel. An Irish Angel revolves round pregnant teenager Aine (Niamh James) residing in Portrush in Northern Eire who, because the movie begins, has but to inform her mum Margaret (Amanda Doherty) she’s up the duff, though her grandmother Agnes (Kathy Deehan) already suspects what’s happening.
No less than her greatest pal, sweet-natured goof and aspiring actor Leo (Todd Bell), gives to assist her pay for an abortion however Aine dithers over whether or not she needs to terminate or not. Goals concerning the faculty caretaker (Shane Robinson) taking the type of Jesus should not particularly useful on the subject of figuring out what to do. In the meantime, Aine and Leo are within the faculty manufacturing of Pulcinella, directed by drama trainer Ellie (Jaime Winstone). This offers Leo an opportunity to pitch some woo to Corinna (Ania Lee Lyes), who was once shut mates with Aine till one thing at first unspecified occurred to drive a wedge between them. Naturally, the fateful occasion has one thing to do with Aine’s being pregnant.
That may all be greater than sufficient to get on with, however writer-director Danny Patrick piles on extra incident, together with Leo getting combined up together with his shady brother Padraig’s (Baz Black) plans to rob an area gangster businessman, mildly comedian shenanigans on the native church involving an aged priest, and home employees, together with Margaret, happening strike. All of it pootles alongside somewhat dully, ineptly making an attempt for a comic book tone earlier than it decides to lurch into tragedy. Sadly, the inexperienced and/or poorly directed solid can’t actually deal with the tonal shift; they react to the demise of two necessary characters as if a favorite TV present had been cancelled. It’s a slog to take a seat via.
