David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived

2023

★★★½ Watched

David Holmes is among those we feel we know without truly knowing. In truth, all stunt doubles inhabit this paradox. They are the ones in our favorite films, executing the awe-inspiring scenes we adore, yet we lavish praise on actors who may not even have been on set—artists who expended none of the effort.

Dominic Kearney: Me, I pay no attention to wars. I'm agin' 'em. Wars and soap.

Siobhan Súilleabháin: Dear Padraic, I am safely ensconced in the mainland and, Padraic, it's lovely here. There's a river running past my window as I write, and the people already seem less bitter and mental. I'm not sure why, but I think it's 'cause a lot of them are from Spain. Mostly, I wanted to say there's a spare bed here for you, Padraic. And…
