In a time when movies often don't fully portray the aftermath of betrayal, I felt this movie reminded me what I seem to have been indifferent to, dare I say forgotten. The main thing I think this film tries to do, is provoke its' audience to rethink the aftermath of betrayal. Nowadays, the whole relationship institution has dissolved into nothing substantial. Whilst emphasizing the collapse of loyalty between the partners and to the marriage itself, the movie has awakened the inevitable consequence of each disloyal act we partake in, when in a relationship. The actors were fantastic and Cillian Murphy's performance definitely stood out. It's certainly a refreshing change to see him portray a character that's preserving a tiny portion of his own nature, so it seems. I must say though, at first, I thought the movie was rather boring during the first twenty minutes. Only then did I realize that as boring as it was to watch the characters day to day life, it must be dreadful to actually live as such, thus explaining, and ultimately leading, to the acts of infidelity.

An Irish drama; A story about wo couples in suburban Dublin who appear to live in marital bliss until an altercation between one of the couples occurs, which leads to cracks appearing in both marriages. This intense drama has several themes including whether love is always conditional? And, despite a close marital relationship, how well does one know their spouse? The film creates the background drama to these questions and tension is effectively built. But, the middle class observational banter is banal and a distraction and adds nothing to the central questions it attempts to answer. When the infedility occurs in the story it feels like it has no foundation, just passion and misery - there are no mechanics that judge either side. With a first rate cast, the performances make the film very watchable and dramatic, but the direction is quite static and almost stagey.

This movie shows that nothing should be taken for granted and life doesn't wait for anyone. Use every second of precious time to get what you want and surround yourself with the people that are important to you. 7.1

Deeply moving look at the fragility of relationships, deftly directed with incredible acting from all 4 leads, you'll be enthralled, I know I was. Great ending too! The critics weren't watching the same movie or maybe it's just they wanted to show how sometimes us Irish can be called a nation of begrudgers. Go figure but this movie is not to be missed

Lots of twists and turns in this cleverly constructed story about how complicated we can make our lives and relationships. The casting is outstanding with solid and believable performances. A rather strange ending which some might think is going to destine Cillian Murphy's character to the rubbish tip of life. Watch it !!

An intense mix of romance and suspense, The Delinquent Season provides a story that displays marriages gone terribly wrong. The director Mark O'Rowe gives a story about two Irish couples who are close friends, having dinners with each other and coordinating playdates between their children. The movie escalates when the two couples begin to get involved in a situation of adultery, testing the strength of marriage and unraveling surprising circumstances. I thought the movie itself was very entertaining, being filmed in a grim and serious way that had me attentive throughout. The acting was impressive as well, I specifically enjoyed the performance by Cillian Murphy. Overall, The Delinquent Season is an entertaining entry in the drama genre.

Well what the Critics watched is beyond me..this Drama really hit home leaving lasting effects, I felt quite sad at the end..and that last song 'in the room' which you can't download anywherd, is the annoying part as it's fantastic.. The actors were perfect and great story line..and j agree with the other review I would imagine an affair to be like this. Not stopped thinking about it and watched it 3 times now..that should give you a clue how good it is..I just wish you could get that last song gutted

I think this film deserves a better rating owing to the fabulous performances of all the 4 main actors. A tender and sensitive portrayal of a very real subject.
