Different (2022)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Set in rural 1980s Ireland, the story revolves around Patrick, a talented Gaelic footballer, as he confronts societal taboos and personal fears. Against the backdrop of the stunning Irish countryside, Patrick embarks on an emotional journey, challenging societal expectations and seeking personal fulfillment. Filled with carefree moments and the pursuit of self-acceptance, the story explores themes of identity and the courage to live authentically.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
