Christy is a gritty yet poignant story of a displaced 17-year-old who is expelled from his latest foster home and moves in with his hard-working half-brother, sister-in-law and their baby.
Strong performances anchor Brendan Canty’s surprisingly uplifting slow-burn social-realist drama. – Simon Dillon, Medium
Christy is a terrifically warm and involving Irish movie about two brothers from Cork’s northside; it is moving and funny, with plenty of affectionate shots of the iconic Knocknaheeny water tower. – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
