Her search takes her into a feuding family, a contested house; and a history that threatens to take everyone down, including herself. A Want in Her is an immersive, first-person account of the cost of love, and how difficult it can be to escape.

One of the biggest Irish films of the year, A Want in Her is Myrid’s debut feature, but the filmmaker’s maturity and sophistication are evident from the very start.

Director Myrid Carten will take part in a Q&A after the film.

“Raw, searing... a daughter’s shattering testament to her mother’s absence, presence and endurance... passages of cathartic beauty, grace and even humor.” Variety
