Synopsis:
"The Drummer and the Keeper" tells the story of Gabriel (Dermot Murphy), a rock'n'roll party animal newly-diagnosed with mental health issues, and Christopher (Jacob McCarthy), a 17-year-old goalkeeper with Asperger Syndrome who yearns to fit in. When the young drummer is prescribed a weekly dose of therapeutic football, he's forced into the company of the isolated Christopher who's determined to make friends with the anarchic new arrival - whether Gabriel likes it or not. It's a meeting that will change both their lives.

Irish Film Board plus Nick Kelly: you just know it's going to be worth a watch! - The Drummer and the Keeper review by DW

Spoiler Alert
16/05/2018

Director Nick Kelly got the backing he needed from Irish Film Board to take a realistic look at modern mental health issues. This story could happen in real life & that's one of a number of reasons to keep you focused, from start to extraordinary finish. The main roles were given to splendid performers who were not asked to act beyond their fine capabilities so I enjoyed some "perfect fit" performances.

The story follows a direct course (no flash backs) & does not get side tracked by an irrelevant romantic sub-plot. Most importantly, in the final 10 or so minutes the plot does a totally unexpected curve ball to conclude at a thought provoking conclusion. Brilliant.

The decision makers at Irish Film Board have every right to be pleased with their input. Good on you, boys!
