Synopsis
Made for next to nothing, The Brothers McMullen (1995) is the indie comedy you can watch online on iFILM — Edward Burns' directing debut, which he also wrote and stars in.
Three Irish Catholic brothers from Long Island end up under one roof, sorting out love, faith and marriage. Jack, the eldest, is married but cheating. Barry swears off commitment and promptly falls hard for someone. Patrick, the youngest, is torn between his religion and a girlfriend of another faith. Kitchen-table arguments, awkward dates, honest humor.
Burns shot the film on borrowed gear, at night, on a shoestring — then walked away from Sundance with the 1995 Grand Jury Prize. Connie Britton turns up in one of her earliest roles. A warm, talky watch for anyone who loves nineties American independent cinema. Stream The Brothers McMullen online on iFILM.
