All Families Are Mad… Not least the Canavans. A drama comedy with a twist set in the wild West of Ireland. When Colm, the head of the family, dies, there are few who mourn his passing, not even his four estranged adult children. But the legalities of his will must be observed and more than one Canavan sibling is harbouring secrets. As the Canavans return to the family home, the fate of the family unit, their sanity and the Canavan estate all hang in the balance.

“Darkly funny and deeply melancholic, the film turns the family estate into a pressure cooker of grief, grudges and reluctant affection.”
Scott Roxborough, The Hollywood Reporter
“A tonally well-balanced and well-acted crowdpleaser. Edwin Mullane and Adam O’Keeffe bring a healthy amount of humor and warmth to this tale of family secrets and reconciliation.”
Amber Wilkinson, Screen Daily
“Balancing oddball charm with psychological insight, Horseshoe stands as a tribute to rural Ireland and a promising introduction to these two emerging voices in Irish cinema.”
Dora Matijević, Film Ireland
