White Irish Drinkers

While a rebellious, abused, angry Catholic (Geoff Wigdor) flirts with robbery and lawlessness in 1975 and is desperate to escape Brooklyn after growing up with his hard-drinking, abusive, longshoreman father (Stephen Lang) and devout mother (Karen Allen) in this captivating, gut-wrenching, down-to-earth film, his artistic, quiet-spoken, 18-year-old brother (Nick Thurston), who works for an aging movie theater owner (Peter Riegert), uses his artwork to escape his surroundings and dreams of a better life.
