A coming of age story set in 1975 working-class Brooklyn, in which two teenage brothers living with their abusive father and their well-meaning but ineffective mother are caught up in a life of petty crime. Older brother Danny concocts a daring scheme to steal enough money for the two to escape, timed around the chaos of an upcoming Rolling Stones concert. The sensitive younger brother, Brian, ultimately has a choice: remain loyal to the brother with whom he shares a powerful love-hate bond, or use his hidden talent as an artist as his own ticket out of their dead-end existence.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Writer-director John Gray digs into his own background to create the ardent and atmospheric White Irish Drinkers. The close, cramped intimacy of this film is so real it stings.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
25 Mar 2011
rotten:
The basic outline of the plot, built around a promised local concert by the Rolling Stones - well, if you don't know where that story is headed, you haven't seen as many movies as I think you have.
– Anthony Venutolo,
Newark Star-Ledger,
25 Mar 2011
fresh:
Despite the cliches that push every scene forward, there's an unexpected appeal to John Gray's modest drama, emanating from its center.
– Elizabeth Weitzman,

25 Mar 2011
rotten:
A movie that one watches with the sense of pushing it up a hill.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,

rotten:
Every kitchen-sink dramatic cliche is trotted out in John Gray's Brooklyn period piece.
