What they share

Both films are directed by John Crowley, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Boy A, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Intermission is

Here's a film that hopes to do for Dublin what *Trainspotting* did for Edinburgh. When a young couple decide to take a break from each other, their orbit quickly expands to include bank robbers, corrupt cops, and various other lowlifes. It's not quite a cultural touchstone, but it is a pretty good yarn.
