A coming of age story set in 1975 working-class Brooklyn, in which two teenage brothers living with their abusive father and their well-meaning but ineffective mother are caught up in a life of petty crime. Older brother Danny concocts a daring scheme to steal enough money for the two to escape, timed around the chaos of an upcoming Rolling Stones concert. The sensitive younger brother, Brian, ultimately has a choice: remain loyal to the brother with whom he shares a powerful love-hate bond, or use his hidden talent as an artist as his own ticket out of their dead-end existence.

I had the opportunity to see White Irish Drinkers at the Toronto Film Festival. It’s definitely a movie that keeps you hooked, from beginning to end! The actors all give heartfelt (but not cheesy at all) performances that keep the drama rolling, with some witty quips and one-liners along the way. Personally, I really loved the soundtrack – it added to the overall rowdiness of the film. I can’t wait to catch it again when it shows at Craic fest next weekend!
