Intermission is one of those modern multiple storyline films in which a group of characters lives intertwine. And, as per usual involves a car crash. These factors tie it to the likes of Magnolia, Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Crash, 13... Full review

Frankly, too many IMDb critics are expecting "films" instead of movies, because viewed simply on its entertainment merits, "Intermission" was one of the better movies of 2003.There is no "cinematic" brilliance here. It's not a pretty thing played by thespians... Full review

Yet there are some excellent moments and riveting performances.
David Wilmot gets to play a hilariously active love scene, and Colm Meaney makes a good fist of an unpredictable, nay, haywire detective.

She seems to have wandered into Intermission from a more gleefully wicked movie.
In good black comedy, you get the feeling that anything can happen, to anybody, at any time.

Julie Rigg: It's a pretty low budget ensemble film from Ireland, and yes I was looking forward to it because I think Colin Farrell is shaping up as a very good actor, and because there's also another wonderful actor called Shirley Henderson who has been in a number of small films (and is a standout in everyone of them). ...

The cast is excellent...
There's a lot to this film, and it's funny.
including Shirley Henderson, again, as anorak-wearing Sally (a sort of Irish Allison-from-The Breakfast Club) and Colm Meany as a rather mean detective who likes Celtic music.

In the suburbs of Dublin, more than a dozen strangers find their paths colliding in sometimes violent, sometimes absurd ways in Intermission, the first feature from director John Crowley.
Setting the chain of events in motion is Lehiff (Colin Farrell), a small-time crook whose most recent petty theft has him on the run from Jerry (Colm Meaney), a self-aggrandizing police detective who's even more full of himself now that he's being constantly trailed by a TV news documentary crew.
