This 1991 musical drama-comedy is set in Dublin, Ireland. The film is based on the novel by Roddy Doyle. It is about a group of working-class people that come together to form a blues band, in part to alleviate social pressures, and revel in a little Americana-influenced culture partly also to find a voice in the white noise. The language is lively, and much cursing is in the script. This film is the first in a series called the Barrytown trilogy. It is quirky, full of character, and different in a good way. It shows both the uniqueness of the middle-class of Ireland, and the huge influence American Blues music had abroad. Overall, I very much enjoyed this movie. For a mature audience. I give it a 5 out of 5.
