I was invited to an advanced screening of White Irish Drinkers with no expectations of the film, and I must say I was truly impressed.
From the acting of Steven Lang, who, as always - was extraordinary, to the under-appreciated Karen Allen in one of her best roles. And finally to Nick Thurston who delivered a strong, measured performance that anchors the story.
In addition, Seamus Tierney provided some exceptional cinematography shot on location in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn - rarely seen on film since Saturday Night Fever in 1977, which coincidentally is the roughly the year when Drinkers is set.
But it is the director/writer/producer John Gray who's long career of solid work has served him well in bringing this powerful story to life.
