An Irish Goodbye (2022)

The one to choose when you need to laugh as well as grieve. In rural Northern Ireland, two estranged brothers, Lorcan, who has Down syndrome, and Turlough, are thrown back together by their mother's sudden death, and then they find the bucket list she never finished. It plays as a comedy as much as a drama, and the jokes sit alongside the loss rather than papering over it, which makes it a natural pick for siblings who are mourning the same parent in very different ways. James Martin and Seamus O'Hara play the brothers, it runs nine minutes, and it won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film. In the US it is free on Kanopy and The Roku Channel.
