March 12 Jimmy's Hall
Ireland; Rated PG-13; 109 minutes; 2014
In 1921 Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in an Ireland on the brink of Civil War. The Pearse-Connolly Hall was a place where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream...but above all to dance and have fun. As the hall grew in popularity its socialist and free-spirited reputation brought it to the attention of the church and politicians who forced Jimmy to flee and the hall to close.
“It is watchable and thoughtful...film, with some wonderful moments.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“An eminently enjoyable work by a master craftsman.” - Scott Foundas, Variety
