A young family is rendered homeless when their landlord sells their house in this drama from Paddy Breathnach (Viva), starring Sarah Greene (TV's Rebellion) and Moe Dunford (Patrick's Day).
"When their landlord sells their rental home, Rosie (Greene), John Paul (Dunford), and their young family find themselves homeless. With their essential belongings crammed into their car, they begin the daily search for a place to sleep. While John Paul works kitchen shifts, Rosie drives the older kids to and from school, where shame keeps them from confessing the desperation of their situation. Old emotional wounds prevent Rosie from accepting her mother’s offer to put up the kids, so the family is reduced to roaming the city daily, uncertain as to which — if any — hotel will accept the Dublin City Council credit card they’re dependent on to provide them with lodging." (Toronto International Film Festival)

Stuff
Stuff"Other films have bigger budgets and more glamorous stars, some even take home more awards. But few if any can quietly move you as much as "Rosie.""

Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Doyle's screenplay is brutally specific about the overwhelming demands of child care under these circumstances, and Rosie's efforts to keep up appearances with relatives and school officials are heartbreaking."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Thanks to a sterling central turn from Greene (plus solid support from Moe Dunford as her hard-working hubby), the film pits the unfeeling state against the near-mythic resilience of the family unit."
