"The story is great. It's very tough and unyielding. A very different view of Irish America. There's no sentimentalism, shamrocks or shillelaghs." - Frank McCourt, Pulitzer Prize-Winner for Angela’s Ashes
"It's as if the late John Cassavetes had been let loose in the local crack houses and neighborhood bars with a mini-dv camera."
- Kathleen Carroll, Legendary New York Film Critic
