The Wind That Shakes the Barley
The story tells of a real tragedy that followed the Irish War of Independence, which at one time was a bloody war. This story tells of two brothers fighting a guerrilla war against British troops, but political events come at odds with what they expect as they soon began to tear apart the Brotherhood in a strange way.

Loach is on fire here. A masterfully executed mix of politics and passion, this is an example of that increasingly rare beast in modern cinema: a serious, thought-provoking film for grown-ups.

Gripping, powerful, heart-breaking.

[Loach] has made an often handsome, always sobering movie that does what the best movies do: leave us a whole lot less sure about what we ought to think.

[Loach is] the master of the docu-drama or the realist social film, and Wind is one of his masterpieces.

While this may be a historical piece, it's history told in the vivid present tense.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley is a multi-layered story, and the more you see those different aspects, the more you'll enjoy the film.
