Film 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...

Anastasia Shirley

The 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.
