Best movie of this year hands down!

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

So few films today provide such a rich and gritty study of both human frailty and human spirit and redemption. White Irish Drinkers is definitely one of them.I loved it. I saw it last night and I have thought about it several times since - a mark of a good film.I am going to act like I didn't see it and watch it again with my husband tonight. Don't think you can get a better endorsement than that.Only very minor issues:It is a coming of age story. All the characters are tremendously real with Karen Allen the exception. She was too cliché and wasn't able to pull off enough suffering commensurate with what she was actually going throughHa....can't believe I actually did see a blooper. It is set in 1975 and in the opening credits scenes, there is a picture of a molded white plastic chair...which didn't exist back them. I am surprised no one noticed...especially 3 minutes into the movie.

Coming from a strong Irish background, the title automatically drew me in and I was hooked from the start.This is one of those movies that you just don't seem to see anymore. It is real, and plays all your emotions. It is one of those straight forward movies that doesn't beat around anything: it has conflict, humor, the family drama, and romance.The acting is phenomenal as well too.. Karen Allen, Stephen Lang, and Nick Thurston were PERFECT for their roles.. I think we will be seeing a lot more of Nick after this movie gets out.Over all I give it a 10 ... and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie to anyone!

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.

I caught White Irish Drinkers at a film festival and I have to say I was really impressed with it. I have family in Brooklyn, and every street corner and bar reminded me of the times I've had there. Not to mention, the incredible acting of the greats like Karen Allen and Stephen Lang, but also the newcomers Nick Thurston and Geoff Wigdor. Needless to say, I IMDb'd all of the actors after I saw it because of how awesome they were.Nick Thurston's acting really makes you feel for this kid. You almost relate to him even if you have never been through this life of abuse and petty crimes. And his innocent blue eyes make it impossible to look away!I would invite anyone to see this movie again. I don't think it matters who you are; you'll love White Irish Drinkers, with its deeply emotional scenes of family and abuse and it's hilarity in streaking through cemeteries. White Irish Drinkers rocks!
