Jim Sheridan responds to The Secret Scripture criticism

Jim Sheridan has responded to Sebastian Barry’s comments on his new film.

The director adapted the novel The Secret Scripture for the big screen but the author said that he changed the storyline dramatically.

“It is a no-win situation. If you change it, you are in trouble, and if you don’t change it, you are in trouble,” he said.

The Dubliner admitted this isn’t the first time that an author has hit out at his films, having received similar criticism when he adapted My Left Foot and The Field.

“It’s difficult, especially with such a strong literary work as that is,” he told the Sunday Independent.

“It is always going to be different when you adapt a book. My Left Foot stops when Christy Brown is 17 and we went on until he was 45 and we changed everything.

“The Field changed an awful lot too. Things change when you make films. You can’t help it.”
