The magnificent Deanne Foley shows that talent, not just the luck of the Irish, can make something as rare as this perfect little film. The Molly, of the magnificently titled, is an 11-year-old with all the right gear but not enough moves to do the Irish jigs. Enter Andy Jones as the neighbourhood burglar, irascible as an alley cat. He sure knows his Irish dancing, however, and one thing leads to another surprising partnership. Lovingly shot, Foley’s film showcases the curly red-headed ability of Julia Kennedy as the magnificent youngster, a curiously fitting match for the graceful power of an Andy Jones, who is always pretty magnificent himself.
