Electric Frank

About This Movie

Electric Frank is an interesting slice of 1970's Dublin, centering on the turbulent life of young Evie. At just 11 years old, she navigates the complexities of family dynamics, especially with her father’s struggle with alcoholism. It’s got this raw, gritty feel, capturing both the charm and the hardships of the era. The pacing can be a bit languid, which really allows you to soak in the atmosphere, the streets, the music, and Evie's internal conflict. Performances are pretty solid; the young actress portraying Evie has this sincerity that pulls you right into her turmoil. And there’s something about its exploration of forgiveness and childhood innocence, all wrapped in that palpable Dublin setting that makes it stand out.
