Review
An impressive directorial debut from award-winning actor Peter Mullan ("My Name Is Joe"). Set during one single, stormy night in Glasgow, the grown-up orphans of the title are the three Flynn brothers and their wheelchair-bound sister. It's the eve of their mother's funeral and the clan have gathered together to say their own private farewells. But events soon get wildly out of control as their collective grief and grudges bubble over. A bit overdone in places, but redeemed by some excruciatingly funny moments.
