Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
While the film has many well-observed moments...it ultimately suffers from its relentless piling on of crises.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,
3 Dec 2007
fresh:
A small-bore Southie coming-of-age drama whose heart is just a bit bigger than its cliches.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
26 Oct 2007
rotten:
It's too sincere and thoughtful to be immediately dismissed. But it is terribly frustrating viewing: so much time and creative energy spent making a movie that, in one form or another, the audience has already seen.
– Tim Grierson,
L.A. Weekly,
25 Oct 2007
rotten:
Black Irish boasts many memorable scenes and fine characterizations but ultimately plays more like a series of snapshots come to life than as an organically satisfying story.
