Irish Whiskey (1997)
9/10
Loved the film
26 October 2008
A friend recommended I see the film. It's a very wonderful women's film. I'd venture to say it's transformational. The center character, a traditional, religious Irish-American wife of a bigot gives a very strong performance. As a matter of fact most of the cast is excellent. There are very funny lines and situations throughout the film. It makes you laugh and cry, and there is a devastating father son scene that leaves you in tears, but the film ends on a note of hope, not artificially sweet, but bitter-sweet true to life. I recommend this undiscovered gem of a low budget beautifully shot independent film wholeheartedly! And yes, for Young Dubliners fans, it's a special treat to see this great Irish rock band perform in the wedding scene finale.
