Review of The Snapper

Screen Two: The Snapper (1993)
Season 9, Episode 10
10/10
a rarity - a working-class movie
24 March 1999
Sweet, touching but also bawdy tale of a working-class Irish family's reaction to their unmarried daughter's pregnancy. The father character is especially interesting. He takes great pride in his family, with all its imperfections. He tenderly cares for his daughter through her ordeal and holds his head high despite the neighbors' petty gossip. A real "family values" film depicting people of modest means trying to stick together.
