Oh, joy!

The bonds of friendship are put to the test in this brooding, guilt-soaked drama. "Star Trek's" Colm Meaney stars as one of six Irish mates who immigrated to London together 30 years earlier looking for any work they could get. Decades later, some have done well, while others are barely scraping by. The untimely death of one of them brings the old friends back together for an uncomfortable, drunken reunion. The well-acted 2007 film was Ireland's official submission to the Oscars for best language foreign film. Much of the dialogue is in Irish, with subtitles. Unrated, 89 minutes. From BFS. No DVD extras. In stores Tuesday, Sept. 2.
