One Hundred Mornings: The Reviews

Hi Folks!

Check out the amazing response One Hundred Mornings has had since its screening at the Galway Film Fleadh in July 2009:

"By way of contrast, you couldn’t honestly call Conor Horgan’s One Hundred Mornings particularly cheery, but, to my mind, it just surpassed His & Hers as the finest domestic feature I saw at the Fleadh. Beautifully shot in washed-out watercolours by Suzie Lavelle, the film sends four young people to a remote cabin following a vaguely defined collapse in western society. The group is lucky enough to have a shed full of vodka and canned food, but, without a gun, they are unable to defend themselves against hungry neighbours and disreputable police officers.
More a personal drama than a post-apocalyptic thriller, the lean One Hundred Mornings is to be commended for what it dares to leave out. Featuring contained, committed performances by Ciaran McMenamin, Kelly Campbell, Alex Reid and Rory Keenan, the film tells its unhappy story through a neat arc, but it never feels forced or overworked. There could be no higher compliment than to say that, after a first viewing, I wanted to see it again and discover what it all meant”

“One Hundred Mornings changed my mind about Irish film. It is beautifully shot, wonderfully acted, perfectly written and seamlessly directed. The location is at times utterly breathtaking, and is the perfect setting for the movie. The story tackles some tough questions (sometimes with wicked black humour), but it never punishes you for wanting to know the answers.” Dan Walsh, Culch.ie

"Horgan's auteur film excels in its ability to depict what he has decided to leave out; with suggestion painting a more powerful picture in the minds of the audience. One Hundred Mornings exhibits ableak apocalyptic worldview, but Horgan constructs it with an eye to the beauty of things, thus making the places and the people we love ever harder to leave. How it didn't win best picture is hard to fathom" Breandan O'Brion -Galway Film Fleadh review, Marketing Magazine
