Back To Barrytown review: Enjoyable trip down memory lane to The Commitments
Colm Meaney in Back to Barrytown.
It is hard to believe that it has been three decades since The Commitments, one of the most beloved films in Irish film history, hit our screens. Back to Barrytown marks this milestone with a three-part documentary series on Roddy Doyle’s trilogy, the first of which tells the story of The Commitments.
Master of ceremonies for this entertaining stroll down memory lane is Colm Meaney who cemented Jimmy Rabbitte (Senior) in the public imagination as one of Ireland’s most memorable screen characters — Meaney refers to his initial role in The Commitments as a “high-impact” cameo.
