His & Hers

His & Hers is a beautiful and charming Irish-made film. It is not often that those words are used to describe a documentary but this one deserves them and more. Directed by Ken Wardrop and produced by Andrew Freedman, His & Hers won the Audience award in the Dublin International Film Festival as well as The Feature Award in the Galway Film Fleadh, an IFTA for Best Feature Documentary and the Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2010. Men, if you have an Irish mammy or sister, girlfriend, wife, daughter I recommend that you see this. Women, it describes perfectly in the words of other females every male-female relationship you have ever had in your life.
