TRAD

About This Movie

So, TRAD (2025) is this interesting blend of comedy and drama. You’ve got Shóna and Mickey, two siblings on a road trip that’s not just about music – it’s about their bond and the adventures they stumble into. The film captures that raw, earthy vibe of the Donegal Gaeltacht, which really sets it apart. The pacing feels natural, almost like you’re going along for the ride with them. I found the performances to be really genuine, especially from the younger cast. There's something about the way they explore themes of family and tradition while weaving in beautiful fiddle music. It feels atmospheric – you can almost hear the tunes long after it’s over. Definitely one to consider if you appreciate character-driven narratives with a musical twist.
