A MEETING AT ESMEDUNE
A Dual-Divergence Timeline

Prologue: Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
Review: 'A Meeting At Esmedune' – Commonwealth Gazette (Dublin Edition), 13 July 1966
“...It is undeniable that, in attempting to do justice to an event of the magnitude of the Conference of Esmedune, the film dispenses with some of the nuance and complexity of history. Those wishing to see a detailed rendition of the relationship between Long and the Irish delegate Richard Mooney may prefer to wait for Seamus McCormick's 'Our Man Mooney'; here, Mooney is relegated to a minor role, and Oliver Powell's depiction, whilst competent, displays none of Mooney's characteristic antagonism. Nevertheless, as with anything bearing Nicholas Howard's name, 'A Meeting At Esmedune' is a consummate and considerate recounting of events, and one of the best films in a year heavy with historical drama. *****”
