Synopsis

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.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Sjohnnieenanita Poor acting. No emotion in any of the characters. Not a single Irish feeling apart from the opening and ending score.I zoned out after about 30 Min's left it playing on the background in the hope i might find something that i can agree with like many people on IMDb said.But alas there was nothing noteworthy or even mildly memorable about this poorly performed flick. So if you are really really bored and are contemplating on watching this movie just to kill some time then my answer to you is go and clean the toilet or wash your car hell wash anybodies car or toilet just don't watch this. What ever you do.
tjbg This is such an incredible piece of work. A friend of mine had seen it and recommended it to me, and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see it. This indie has it all: excellent writing, captivating cinematography, and an incredibly talented cast. It was so refreshing to see new talent like Nick Thurston work so incredibly well with the veterans of the cast. Stephen Lang, Karen Allen, and Geoff Wigdor also have captivating performances, but newcomer Thurston really stole the show for me. The story line beautifully carries the weight of alcoholism and the conflict of staying loyal to family while also trying to find your own way. Like any good film, White Irish Drinkers carries the viewer through a multitude of emotions, and they're left with a powerful presentation. You can really feel the director's passion for the story, and the characters' authenticity pulls in any audience. This isn't one to miss.
ugas2007 I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and everything that it brought to the table. I felt the story was extremely well written and the film was brilliantly casted. Newcomer Nick Thurston delivered a brilliant performance and really put himself on the map I feel. I also really enjoyed watching Karen Allen's performance for I thought she did an amazing job at bring the character to life and really showing her struggle. The film also had an amazing soundtrack that really added extreme emotion to all the scenes. I truly could feel the emotional tension in each scene. Aside from it being emotionally gripping, it also had a light hearted feel to it as well. The exchanges between Nick Thurston and his love interest really have a romantic touch to them and gives the film its romantic appeal.I really feel people will love this movie for it really is able to connect with people and reach them on a personal level. I high recommend seeing it. Well worth it.
allison-sheppe When I saw White Irish Drinkers at its opening in LA, it was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had at a movie theater. The film truly resonated throughout the audience with the passion of its actors, the heartfelt progression of the story, and the uplifting journey that a man takes to overcome his current situation. The energy was incredible! The real beauty of this film is how it truly captures the dynamics of family, the pain when members struggle, the perseverance to keep it together, and the occasional pauses to smile and appreciate love. Also a huge fan of newcomer Nick Thurston, whose presence in the film holds its own against a phenomenal cast with Karen Allen and Stephen Lang. As the film concluded, the audience gave a standing ovation. Definitely worth seeing.
