HANDSOME DEVIL, RTE ONE, WEDNESDAY 9.35PM

In John Butler’s touching drama set in a rugby-playing boarding school, two very different teenage pupils form an unlikely bond after being forced to room together.

It centres on an ostracised teenager (Fionn O’Shea) at a rugby-obsessed all boys boarding school in Ireland whose new roommate (Nicholas Galitzine) is the school’s new rugby star-player. The two form an unlikely friendship until it is tested by those around them. Handsome Devil has received critical acclaim, winning the award for Best Irish Feature of 2017 from the Dublin Film Critics’ Circle, four nominations at the 2018 Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) Awards, including Best Feature Film; and the Best Single Drama Award at the annual Celtic Media Festival in 2018.
