Dublin Oldschool
Dublin Oldschool is a 2018 film starring Emmet Kirwan, Ian Lloyd Anderson, Seana Kerslake and Sarah Greene[1][2][3][4] The film was directed by Dave Tynan [5] and is based on a play originally written by Emmet Kirwan that debuted in 2014.[10] Paul Taylor, writing for The Independent gave a positive review of its 2017 run at the National Theatre in London saying, "Emmet Kirwan's two-hander, starring himself as Jason, a wannabe DJ and Ian Lloyd Anderson, as his long-lost drug addict brother, is highly charged theatre."[11] Michael Billington of The Guardian gave a negative review of the same run at the National Theatre saying, "If Kirwan can harness his verbal power, he may yet write a play that offers more than a sensory impression.[14] Kirwan stated he hopes that the film will foster awareness of the homeless and drug addicts.[15] Paul Whitington of the Irish Independent gave the film a negative review that states, "Tynan's film is laden down with aimless chatter, and its plot meanders drearily towards a country rave that seems curiously old-fashioned, and feels like a piece of Dublin's past, not its present.
