Another good Irish film for you. Breakfast on Pluto is directed by Neil Jordan who also did The Crying Game (which is one of my favorite love stories), Michael Collins (which I haven't seen), and Interview with the Vampire (which is not set in Ireland, but does feature Stephen Rea whom I always enjoy).
This may become one of my favorites. It's set in the 70s mostly and shot with really saturate colors. The cast is strong. The soundtrack is good and gives lots of texture to the story and the emotions. The DVD offers subtitles for the hearing impaired (or those who have trouble with understanding the accents).
I'm going to leave it at that rather than go into further detail because I think it's a movie that can be described in lots of ways that won't do justice to the layers of experience depicted in the movie. But if you've enjoyed other films by this director, you might also enjoy this one.

Mom and I watched it this evening. It is quite a movie; quite a journey of balance and redemption.
I love you.
