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.
Thanks Mark. I enjoy watching a new movie and this is one I haven’t heard of.
Enjoy Katie…
Wow… in 1975 I was a teenager in working-class Brooklyn, and the Stones are my favorite rock-n-roll band. That means I’ll probably hate the movie, but I may watch it anyway.
Spoiler alert: Don’t read this if you plan on watching this movie.
Holy Tamolie Mark, I just got done watching it. Wow, powerful film. Can’t imagine why I never heard of it especially with such an outstanding title. So well written and the acting was flawless with a plot turn I never saw coming. But oh, the last three minutes, talk about leveling the playing field. I won’t say more because some haven’t watched it yet.
Anyhow, thanks for recommending it. With all the junk out there, it’s a relief to have something of substance. The only question that remains is this: Have you ever run naked through a cemetery?

Only in a painting. LOL!
Great scene, eh?

Ha! Just got your joke. Took a while.

On the other side of the coin… Propaganda in theaters now – using 9/11 to keep advancing the lie.
Art is never more ill-served than when it itself serves up deception.
