Kisses (2008) starring Shane Curry, Kelly O'Neill. A young Irish boy and girl flee their dysfunctional homes in the slums and go wandering in Dublin. What starts out as a lark turns increasingly dark as the hour grows late. The subtitles on this low-budget film are the strangest I've ever seen. For some reason, the filmmakers have decided to economize on subtitles. About half of the spoken dialogue is captioned; the rest is not. The result is a frustrating viewing experience in which one feels tantalizing close to being able to follow the movie, only to have it repeatedly slip away. Grade: C
