I always look forward to stories in which many lives intersect, as they present an opportunity for vivacious dialogue, great attention to detail, and for gathering talented ensemble casts. "Intermission" takes this opportunity to the max! The script is funny and touching, the jokes are original and unexpected, and the quirky details provide insight to the characters, e.g. Detective Jerry Lynch's music of choice.
The cast deserves a paragraph all their own. Everyone is terrific, particularly Colin Farrell, whose Lehiff is as unpredictable as he is wacky; Cillian Murphy (John), who is a treat as the good guy pining for his girl; and David Wilmot (Oscar) as John's best friend and quite a comic relief.
Excellent film, which makes you cheer and leaves you smiling.
9/10
