"Well, there goes that dream." This is so painful and yet so beautiful.

[tomnewton]

Barry Keoghan went into my top 5 fav actors with like 3 performances. This guy is a monster

[dan.rivlin]

Might be over analysing, but that brief "don't skip ahead" before he asked her made it appear as if he had already played out the scene (or dream in this case) in his mind and knew the outcome. Incredible writing in any case.

[seagull]

The script note ‘she shakes her head, as kindly as she can’ is just fantastic writing and the performance to boot. What a movie.

[Subdood]

This movie was profoundly moving. I was captivated by the entire cast. My sincere thanks to them all for their dedication and hard work to make this film.

[Drumming_Monkey]

How none of them got an Oscar is beyond me. What a moving and spectacular performance by all of the cast.

[naturalcanopy]

It’s, simply put, one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in any film. Ever.

[chromaflow]

“Go do that thing over there I was gonna do”. Jeez, I just got that reference. Such a sad arc for this character, but so well done. I think, if there are any victims in this movie, it’s him. That other scene where he says “that’s probably the meanest thing I’ve ever heard” and looks completely devastated about realizing who is friend really is was also really got me.

[davidblue]

Heartbreaking scene. I was blown away by the dialogue and the acting..

[jojoaction]

That head movement after 'well, there goes that dream'; as if waking up from the dream....incredible touch.

[TonioToutBeau]

I can only hope we see more of him so he can show his range. His acting in this movie was incredible.

[jamesdrynan]

Superb characterization by Barry! The finger-twisting and eye movements express the tortured turmoil he's experiencing. Then, that soulful, " Well, there goes that dream. " Jesus wept.

[LisaMaeFilms]

Never heard of Barry Keoghan before this movie and when I watched this scene it was the most heartbreaking moment in film I had ever watched. I couldn't believe his talent.

[robertsidwell]

This scene . So beautiful and sad and humerus, heart wrenching . A masterpiece..All in one scene .
Lost count of how many times I’ve watched this . Barry Keoghan…….bravo young man .

[TheJohnRowley]

There’s a lot of praise for Barry in these comments, and rightfully so, but Kerry does her part so naturally and with such subtlety, the slight crack in her voice as she responds with ‘i don’t think so’ - conveys the sorrow so central to this film that we cannot choose who we like to be with

[maximiliancordedda]

should've won best picture and screenplay imo. It's so beautifully sober and poetic.

[LOKITYZ]

Wow, now that I've seen this again, it really does feel like he was ready to off himself here, but ran into her and it changed his mind for a moment. Like, realizing that Padraic wasn't as nice as he thought was what initially made him lose all hope. But running into her gave him a spark of hope that he knew was highly unlikely but just wanted to give it one last shot. Unfortunately, he was right, there was never any hope for him.

I can't believe I missed it the first time I watched. I genuinely thought the prediction of the old woman of two people dying would be Jenny and Colm. Turns out, it was Dominic.

[ursamajor]

This is such a great film. A few years ago I started watching Irish made films and I have found them to be fine, rich, powerful things imbued with passion, tragedy, humor and heart.

[TheMBE]

This scene is devastating. Like, when I saw it, I was laughing at first, but then something about how kindly but bluntly she turns him down just breaks my heart

[SlimKeith]

Isolating the scene like this makes me REALLY appreciate the dialogue and the performances. So beautiful. "There goes another dream". Who doesn't know that feeling?
