father is no longer a patient at the facility. Inviting her to his office, he explains to her that the hospital does not hold people against their will, that Robert, after some time, voluntarily admitted himself, a fact that greatly upsets Emily. Destroying the flowers outside, Arden comes to her aid where the two leave to Emily's grandfather's summerhouse, uncertain of their paths. After getting into a disagreement, Arden storms out of the home where Emily attempts to follow him, though meets her father instead unexpectedly. Emily confronts him about her abandonment trauma, saying, "You said nothing could separate us. But you did," not understanding why he would intentionally shut her out as she exits and runs towards the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Emily leaps into the water and her boots fall off. Arden retrieves her and pulls her to shore, expressing his feelings for her. Emily opens herself up to him and as the two head back towards the summerhouse, they make out in the bathroom. As Emily faces her father again wearing her mother's dress, she appears to forgive him and she agrees to return home to June while her father remains at the summerhouse. Emily's depression seems to lift as she faces the future more optimistically, running into the sea to greet Arden, smiling as he photographs her.

524:. What attracts me to all characters is just authenticity and that boldness of self-expression, which I think they both do. Luna does it effortlessly in that she’s who she is and she has no problem with that and she doesn’t ever try to inhibit or change herself. And I think Emily is the same way, slightly more defiantly. I think Emily is a lot angrier at the world and sees so much fakery and pretension among her teenage peers, and I think she rebels against that by being so authentic and so true to herself. I just admire women like that because I, certainly growing up, felt unusual, felt odd, and felt I didn’t really have a place where I fit. But I always felt uncomfortable like that, and those women, like Emily and like Luna, they give me the confidence to just fit in that uncomfortable space. 860:, and she brings a gritty conviction to the antisocial tendencies that Emily cultivates after her beloved dad." He concludes that despite his overall dislike of the film, he applauds Fitzmaurice's "miracle" in completing a feature due to his disability, saying: "if you're a human being you have a rooting interest in Mr. Fitzmaurice. ne aspect of this film for which I have unqualified enthusiasm is the way and his cinematographer Seamus Deasy shoot the various Irish locations, and how they place the characters therein; the effect is often beautifully picturesque without being in the least bit touristy. It represents the movie’s most seductive achievement." 462:; he learned of his illness the same day him and his wife, Ruth, a radio professional, discovered they were pregnant with their third child. Upon being completely paralyzed by the disease and expected to live for only four more years by his doctors, he completed the script using a Tobii eye gaze computer that monitors and translates the movement of his eyes into words and audio with the assistance of predictive text function. In order to raise production costs for the film, on 8 November 2013, producers set up a thirty-day crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo. The campaign quickly gained support from fellow Irish and British celebrities, including 765:, but also schooled by hard knocks." Despite certain awarding aspects, such as heavy-handed emotion and "poetic phraseology," the film "never comes to satisfying fruition, perhaps as a consequence of Emily’s obsession with the past and how profoundly her father’s intellect and temperament has affected her personality. Though travelogue beauty of rolling Irish hills and lakes comes alive through DP Seamus Deasy’s lens, the second act slogs through frisky getting-to-know-you sessions between Emily and Arden, and contrived situations," noting that the relationship between the two budding teens never really feels developed. Bill Newcott for 781:." He adds that due to the director having led the project from a wheelchair and mechanical aid, "even a bad film by Fitzmaurice would be a staggering achievement." He writes of the performances: "Lynch's Emily is a pleasingly complex lass — wise in the ways of the world thanks to her father's tutelage, yet naive enough to believe that sheer force of will can transform even the knottiest circumstances. maintains a stalwart poker face throughout, inviting us to read Emily's emotions through her body language, alternately stiff-legged and limber. It's a lovingly physical performance elicited by a director who cannot move a muscle." 807:

young-adult novel where it "feels like it’s based on" one; "Emily often acts like the type of bratty teen know-it-all we often see in those adaptations." He adds that often, the script feels "a little too precious or even pretentious—partially because Fitzmaurice’s dialogue sometimes feels stilted, as if he’s trying too hard." Receiving the performances, he says: "Lynch has a pleasantly lilting voice that’s almost soothing to listen to as she talks about her memories" which "sadly vanishes once Emily’s road trip begins. Lynch is a decent enough actress, but not quite on par with her country-mate

But she does show potential as a leading actor, and her chemistry with Webster is solid enough to make you believe their relationship even if the emotional range displayed by the two actors seems fairly muted." Likewise, "the more experienced Smiley brings more out of Lynch than her younger co-star." He further compares the cinematography to 791:

father, Robert outshines the film's imperfections, saying: "Displaying the same ethereal quality she brought to the character of Luna Lovegood in the 'Harry Potter' movies, Ms. Lynch makes Emily a lonely mermaid, more at home in water than on land" though the real subject finds itself in Robert "in the brief glimpses of unstable passions terrors of madness" and "glittering panic of parenthood."

747:, adding that director Fizmaurice's "characters shut down emotionally after trauma, but offers them a path to emerge from isolation. His script indulges in misty Irish fatalism, the florid language of literary adolescents and Robert's hodgepodge philosophy." Despite the first act's relatively dark themes, the film "gets lighter as it goes along, releasing tension and pretension." 851:

gives the film two stars out of four, calling it "an average and in several respects a kind of clichéd and frayed coming-of-age movie."
