Cillian Murphy’s “gripping” historical drama is the movie you need to see tonight

I recently watched The Wind That Shakes the Barley, and it’s a really powerful film. It’s a historical drama directed by Ken Loach, who’s a filmmaking legend, and it came out in 2006. The story takes place between 1919 and 1923, showing both the fight for Irish independence and the civil war that followed. It really gives you a sense of that turbulent time in Irish history.
