Twenty-year-old Irish lass Sharon Curley (Tina Kellegher) still lives at home with her mom (Ruth McCabe), dad (Colm Meaney) and many siblings. But notoriety in her small town suddenly arrives in the unlikeliest of forms when, after a boozy night on the town, she becomes pregnant and refuses to divulge the identity of the baby's father. Eventually, the not-so-proud dad is exposed, bringing new levels of embarrassment and complication to the devout Roman Catholic Curley household.

Anthony Lane The New Yorker It sounds like a drab little tale, but in the hands of the film's director, Stephen Frears, it becomes a headlong tumble into good humor... Aug 31, 2020 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek As warm and lived-in as an old pair of boots, The Snapper is an honorable feel-good movie. Mar 13, 2015 Full Review

Emily S This is a movie about a young girl being raped and the trauma she goes through as a result. I wouldn't call it a comedy or light hearted in any sense. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review john k A brilliant caption of Irish culture in the early 80/90s, a cult movie in Ireland and can be funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review
