A man reconnects with his estranged brother during a drug fueled weekend.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

Too many people speak (or think) in the same voice.

Rated: 3/5

Fionnuala Halligan

Screen International

Exhilarating though it may be, and elevated by Kirwan's poetry, the sheer speed of delivery coupled with strong accents and slang can make this Irish Trainspotting a - literally - semi-coherent trip, particularly during exchanges between the two leads.

Rhys Handley

One Room With A View

Superficially glancing at the serious implications of drug use and addiction without deigning to engage, it's little more than an empty high followed by a numb comedown.

Rated: 1/5

Gemma Creagh

Film Ireland Magazine

It's fun and heavy; fast and slow; a comedy and a commentary - but mostly, this is something best experienced on a big screen.

Sunday Times (UK)

Wordy and worthy, it makes a sweet cinematic monument to the contemporary Dublin rave scene, while reveling in the seductive energy of a good party.

Rated: 4/5

Hilary A White

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

The endeavour is undeniable. The Trainspotting/Human Traffic moxie, admirable. You do wonder, though, if Dublin Oldschool bit off more than it could chew.

Rated: 3/5

Dublin Oldschool (1) features a nail-scrapingly-dire script/plot, appallingly-poor dialogue, zero believability and appears to believe it's brilliant purely because everyone is openly taking illegal drugs throughout. Overall Verdict : Complete And Utter Horse-Manure

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
