Additional InformationThe star of Ken Loach's MY NAME IS JOE, Mullan proves that his talent isn't relegated to acting. As a writer/director, he has crafted a supremely entertaining motion picture. ORPHANS tells the grittily realistic, hysterical, and deeply moving tale of a group of siblings who reunite in Glasgow on the eve of their mother's funeral. The four children mourn their mother's passing in a variety of ways, some of which are heartfelt and some of which are bizarre. As a potential thunderstorm threatens to damage the city, the situation compounds itself even further.
ReviewsFilm Comment - ...Bold storytelling....The performances are universally strong..., Box Office - ...Mullan finds black comedy in the most unlikely places and shows enormous skill in keeping the audience on the hook....It's a wonderfully constructed script..., Sight and Sound - ...Mullan has an eye for quietly affecting, connotatively rich visuals...
