The Letters a film by Robbie Walsh is a poignant reminder that one of the most reliable things the human race does well is fail & pass the buck without compassion or guilt, inspired by true events this is not a film with a sugar coated happy ending that leaves you all fuzzy & warm & allows you to slip back into your life it strikes a cord from the very beginning.

Mary Murray, Sarah Carroll, Kathleen W Yeates are a tour de force with each one bringing strength to their respective roles & ably supported by an exceptionally talented supporting cast. Jimmy played by Paul Ward is the type of person you would take deep sea fishing & forget to bring back, a bonus for the community not so good for the sea life,

There is no doubt that this is well cast with all participating & fully embracing their respective roles & it is human, no air brushing no unnecessary dialogue, camera angles or scenes, every frame has a purpose. It is a well thought out film with no waste of screen time every minute is used to great effect to tell a difficult story with so many levels that takes you through the decline, despair & ultimately the fate of the main characters.
