The Flag

About This Movie

So, 'The Flag' is this quirky little comedy from 2016 that really captures the absurdity of life’s curveballs. You've got Harry Hambridge, who’s basically hit rock bottom—losing his job, his father, and his pet hamster all in one day. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it adds to that chaotic feel of his misadventures. The humor, while sometimes dark, really underscores these themes of loss and unexpected legacy. That whole subplot about his grandfather raising the flag during the 1916 Rising? It’s a clever twist that pulls the whole Irish history element into the personal narrative. The performances are solid; you can tell the cast is having a blast, which really elevates the offbeat charm of the film. Not your typical comedy, for sure.

Not your standard comedy; mixes dark themes with humor. · Interesting historical context tied to personal narrative. · Some uneven pacing but maintains a unique charm.
