MA NOTE

Barry Ward and Simone Kirby in Jimmy's Hall (2014)

In 1921 Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream... but above all to dance and have fun. Jimmy's Hall celebrates the spirit of these free thinkers. The film is set in 1932 and follows events when Jimmy returned from a decade in New York and re-opened the hall. The film is freely inspired by JimmyÂ’s life and turbulent times.

Anecdotes
The real Jimmy Gralton was the only Irishman ever deported from Ireland after Irish Independence. After the release of the film, a 2015 campaign (including an online petition) was started with the aim to rescind the deportation order and extend an official apology to his family. In 2016, this resulted in the President of Ireland stating the only deportation of an Irishman from Ireland was "wrong and indefensible." He unveiled a Gralton memorial at Effrinagh outside Carrick-on-Shannon, on the site where the hall once stood. The stone edifice, which tells Gralton's life story as a labor campaigner, was partially funded by the trade union movement.

Gaffes
Tobacco consumption (cigarettes, snuff and pipes) was extremely widespread at the time, yet none of the characters are seen to smoke, even at raucous social occasions.

Citations
James Gralton: We need to take control of our lives again. Work for need, not for greed. And not just to survive like a dog, but to live. And to celebrate. And to dance, to sing, as free human beings.

Crédits fous
At the end of a long list of people and organizations under the heading "Thank You" in the end credits, Dixie the horse, Cabundie the donkey, and Homer the three-legged dog are mentioned.

8/10

Starts off well, loses pace, but a good overall movie

This is the first time I see a Ken Loach a movie, and I was not disappointed.

All characters deliver solid to very good performances, the scenario is both subtle and not over- complicated, and the setting is enjoyable, as it offers a unique perspective on the 30's, seen from an agrarian Ireland.

It does have its weaknesses though. The movie starts with a good rhythm, a pace it sadly does not manage to keep. The last third of the movie feels needlessly slow and long.

Another problem is the way this movie seems to deliver a very subjective view of the opposition between the working class and politics.

Still very enjoyable and highly recommended.
