Four hours of Irish pirate queen chaos? Buckle up, me hearties.
A violent and gritty retelling of the life of Grainne Uaile, the 16th century Pirate Queen from Ireland. She was a fighter, a pirate and a tough woman, carving her mark in a mans world. This exciting film is violent, dark, brutal, exciting and often darkly comic. The ultimate female action hero steeped in ancient Irish history.
Acting
Fionnuala Collins devours scenery like Grainne devoured English ships.
Practical Effects
DIY period chaos that'd make Mel Gibson weep into his budget.
Direction
Ciaron Davies also plays the villain because of course he does.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Grace O'Malley famously met Queen Elizabeth I in 1593 and refused to bow. This film ignores that entirely.
Grainne's been a nationalist symbol since 1898, but this version strips the romance for pure, feral survival.
