The Snapper Movie Synopsis
Originally made for television, this is a slice-of-life film which charts the changing
relationship between 20-year-old Sharon (Kellagher) and her father Jimmy Sr (Meaney)
from the time she tells him she's pregnant to the birth of the child. Jimmy Sr's efforts
to care for his daughter and her snapper (Irish slang for "baby") are confounded by her
refusal to admit who the dad is, while Sharon has to come to terms with the rumors being
spread all over their North Dublin housing scheme.
Great- blending a nearly impossible balance between comedy and drma- even tragedy- without missing a beat. Perfect film!
